I have a 610 I'm wanting to sell but have NO idea of its value. Runs good and is totally functional but has a few things in need of attention. New hoses for the hyd cylinders (no leaks now), right cylinder on bucket tilt needs repacked (slight leak), replace drive belt with OEM, currently has an...

6b~....so I finally got time to get back to my 610. I got the sheaves aligned, 1/4" out, and the belt turned over. Just running at an idle, and adjusting the speed control, it looks like the belt wants to roll over again. The drive belt doesnt ride evenly in the sheaves, the outboard side runs...

And my trials & tribulations continue..... After getting everything back together, it started right up and I adjusted the sheaves to 1/2 speed to check for alignment. They were almost 1/4" out of alignment. I tried to move it to another location when the drive belt turned inside out. WHY???? I...

Thanks 6b.. I do have all new o-rings and seals. I did not sand the snap ring groove in the VS sheave, I will definitely do that and try again. Presently I cant get it past the snap ring groove, so what you say makes total sense. Thank-YOU and everyone else for all of the help and support you...

Almost done & all was going good UNTIL...... How do you compress the O-ring so that the outer bushing can go in, on the drive sheave????

Surprisingly not, NO marks at all. Believe me, I looked with a magnifying glass. THANKS to Clone, Problem solved for a mere $20. Made my Day Drive sheave rebuild kit and distributor arrive tomorrow. About to be back up and running. Fingers crossed. Then the only thing left is to find the...

6b--- I agree on the updated site. I also wish it was possible to EDIT your post. I didnt make it clear that the V notch on the outer rim, is one that I made, the Hash mark, / , was already there, but I never thought to look that low on the sheave. Everyone that uses this site should donate $5 -...

Clone----you are a genius. Your wheel balancer idea worked perfectly. Bobm ---After balancing, a unusual mark is evident, looks like /. I never noticed before, guess because I was looking on the outside edges It only took 9 tries to find the balance point. YEAH!!!!! If I block open the driven...

6b - I have bearings & o-rings for the drive sheave waiting for me at the Bobcat dealer. Didnt find out till midday yesterday & decided not the make the 30 mi trip across town on a holiday Friday..haha..I'll get them Tuesday. You are correct about the valve handle. .... Any other ideas about...

6b - My variable speed valve will only stay in open or closed position, nothing in between. Can you point me to a post that discusses this issue. Thanks in advance.

6b - You make it sound so simple...LOL Even after cleaning & using a sanding pad around the edge, (and putting my reading glass on.haha), I still cannot find any signs of a marking on the engine side of the driven sheave. Guess I'm going to have to rig up some kind of balancing jig, which is...

6b - I took your advise and ordered a #D41-09B distributor off of ebay,, what you say makes total sense. When I get it all back together I will have a totally functional 610, something I have never had before...LOL I have run into another problem, due to my own ignorance. When I took the Drive...

6b - I've done a little google searching and found that Pertronix #1541 electronic ignition kit will work for me. Do you have any experience with this brand? Does anybody else reading this thread have any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help

6b ---- FINALLY got a pic posted,,,,LOL A little clarification...The 1st belt was already frayed when I purchased the machine, but I do agree that I probably did not align the sheaves properly. Im a week out on parts, So I have time to inspect the drive sheave as you suggested. Electronic...

Finally I found my manual with all receipts. I bought it in 92 for $900 and it ran approx 2 weeks before throwing the drive belt. I replaced the belt AND …. drive chains, 2 drive sprockets, and the jack shaft the sheath rides on. Guessing I didn’t get the sheaths aligned properly, so I will...
