hello all, can anyone show me what the backhoe mount should look like for a new holland skid steer? i had the two ball mounts on my bobcat, and i dont see how i could make that work on this LS170? i would like to know where i can see pics of a mount that would go on this skid steer. hope some...

thanks Jerry, i have only put about 15 gal of fuel in so far, i have been buying from cenex up here and it is #1 right now, i don't know if it is bio or not, i here nasty things about that bio diesel. i would hope the cenex stuff is good up here, all our neighbors pretty much use cenex in there...

ahhh yes, ok 5w-40 would be like the syn diesel oil then correct? do you change that out then when it warms up in the spring to decent temps? do you run this same oil in your hydraulic system too then? or do you stay with the 10w-30 motor oil in the hydraulics? great. thanks for the reply. i...

Hello all, new owner of 2002 LS170. moved from bobcat gas skid steer to this NH. i sure really like the turbo diesel motor and heated cab. seems to have good power and sure is stable compared to bobcat. only slightly longer and wider but sure is stable. ok, for you NH guys, i have the turbo...

hello all, i finally found my answers. depends....... right? i searched and didn't find anything and then after i posted i found some old threads talking about the subject. seems like 6k is doable if they are tended to nicely and 1200 could mean engines and motors if abused etc. thanks all micheal

i know this is subjective, but when i go looking for a bigger machine, what could one expect for hours on an engine before i will need to pull it apart? looking at S250 2,000 hours on one, 3,300 on one, 3,000 on another one. same would go for an 873 also, 3,400 hours on them right in that ball...

hello all of you knowledgeable fellows....... 92 742B 1842 hours on the meter mitsubushi 4G32 engine. just noticed tonight coolant coming down back side of engine from up by head so i suppose i have blown a head gasket. it has been a workhorse for me on the farm for years. no troubles at all...

well, no kidding huh. maybe i should switch to filtering on the supply side and use an inline filter on that side. maybe i will try that. thanks much. micheal

i don't know either. i think i might opt for a larger flow rate. i know i put out 10 - 12 gpm at the aux so i might opt for a 25 gpm unit and maybe move it to closer to the quick couple instead of right off the valve body and maybe go with 3/4 inch hose instead of my 1/2 inch on the return side...

hello all, i have a question that i have not been able to find a good answer for. i just finished converting a CADDDIGGER backhoe so i could put it on my 742B bobcat. i dug for short time wednesday nite and blew my return filter canister open. so lastnite i removed the filter and finished the...

hey all, got my 742B running good again. trip to bobcat dealer and got the tuneup kit, points, condenser, rotor and plugs in one box and cap in another box and installed everything and gapped to specs in the manuel, retimed it just as manuel says and she runs fine now! thanks for all your help...

gotcha' i will try that and start there! thanks very much. i pulled the points and filed them, but i never cranked it to watch them. i will give it a go. i am guessing points contact with a dull hazy look to them across the whole contact surface, is maybe a bad thing? i filed on them and they...

Hello all you good people! i have a 92 742B with 1200 hours on it, and i just developed a problem with the motor, it won't stay running. it will start decent and run for a few minutes and then die out, can sorta limp it back to shop by running throttle back and forth, like pumping an accelarator...

hello all, working on my neighbors 500 bobcat, still has the kohler k662 motor. got the starter out last nite but.... we found the governer has a hole in case! so....... can anyone point me in a direction to maybe find a governor that would go on here???? please help if anyone has any idea where...

Thanks Oldmachinist! i figured as much. at least these things are not too complex. i will be pulling it tonight probably. thank you for your input! i appreciate it. micheal
