Thought about changing the coil on my 610 after doing the Pertronix conversion. It just keeps chugging on along. FYI, its a 4 ohm coil.

They don't use a lot of fuel. I'd guess around a 1/2 gallon an hour? More or less.

The Wisconsin in my 610 was built by this company: http://manufacturing.reviva.com/marketingsite/index.asp?currenttab=3 Maybe they could help with parts?

I'm still running a 610. The seat belt on mine looks like it came out of a car. It's bolted to the plate under the seat. The instrument pod on the right side is an hour meter. Will try to help, if you have any more questions.

Hey Bill . I upgraded my 610 to a pointless distributor using a Pertronix . Can get you the part number if needed. It does sound like a fuel delivery problem, having to use the choke to keep it running. Had the same problem with mine. No power and ran like crap. Performed a $1.98 tune up. Rev...

I'm still running a 610. They are good machines, but old. Missing ROPS, would be a big reason not to get this one. If you can build one or know someone who can, that may make it better. Figure out how much it would cost to build one, and take that off the price of the Bobcat. The ad says: runs...

It does sound like the oil level is too high. These engines only need 4 quarts.

I have an old Bobcat, so I picked up a set of ear muffs, with a built in AM/FM radio. It works pretty well, and is a simple option.

Have not had that apart, so, not much help. Check the link that Oldmachinist made to his service manuals: http://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=54&frmView=ShowPost&PostID=31190 Maybe it has the drive sheave in it?

Picked up a 610 last year. It needed some work, but has been a real good machine since. Payed a good bit more than $1800 for it. Not much around here for less than $5000 . If you are mechanically inclined you should be able to fix it up . Manuals are available and are a big help. Engines are...

The manual will tell you. There is a filler on each side tank. They look like a vented , rounded fitting, with a 9/16" hex nut top. The tanks are connected, so you can fill just one tank. High/low level check is on the right side tank. There are two 1/8" pipe plugs .

Been there, done that. You can get it at NAPA. Prestolite # IG1324J ; NAPA Cap # AL70 ( V08129 ) In case you want it also, NAPA Rotor AL69 ( V09049 )

Here's a link to bobcat historical's 963. Click on the different models to the right. Guess you'll have to copy and paste the link. . . ....... http://www.bobcat.com/historical_specs/skid_steer/963_1999

Thanks for the clairafication.
