My dad recently purchased a 2008 S160 and while cleaning snow with it, the left pedal, lift arm pedal got totally sloppy with no resistance. Hydraulic fluid level is fine, everything else functions perfect and it's not throwing any codes. I lifted the cab and looked at the linkage and it is...

make sure when you only use the toggle to open AND close the jaws. If you use the trigger it seems to do funny things with my S130.

"Does this sound like a good deal? Bobcat Skidsteer, 1998 Model 753, low hours 1950+ hours, complete with bucket and forks, auxillary hydraulic controls, Kubota Engine, runs good, looks good, new battery and starter. $9900" I bought my 2005 S130 with bucket and Grapple with only 870 hrs...

I am in a similar situation rifgt now. I have 7 acres of wooded land and I am clearing a bunch of it to expand my backyard. I have to get enough dirt to fill up an area 6 feet deep, by 60 feet wide, by 40 feet long...a lot of dirt. I also am putting in a stone driveway into the woods that is...

maybe I am answering my own question but auxillary hydros like the bobtach or the rear auxillary couplings would mean more hoses coming out of the tank no?

Interesting. I opened the one case drain filter and it looked clean as can be so i simply cleaned it off and stuck it back in. I think what concerns me more than the other filter not being there is the fact that the picture on the Operation/Maintenance book shows stuff under the seat in somewhat...

well looking close it appears the previous owner put a hose there with no filter. My guess is he had a leak and make a quick fix to keep it running but never did the right thing. I can only hope there is not too many hours on that machine without the filter in place.

just a thought but the breather cap was pretty loose, I wonder if fluid could have been boubcing out of there and running down?

I think that is good advice and a nice weekend project for me. I just ordered a service manual on ebay for it and I hope it gives me better details than the owners manual does regarding these case drain filters. If for some reason the right side filter was by passed I am gonna have to figure out...

Yeah I can not find one under the oil reserve tank anywhere. It almost looks like someone bypassed it and just ran a hose. Should that whole area under there be greasy or is that indicative of a leak? Thanks.

Hi fellas I am new here and I would like to ask the experts. I lifted up the cab of my "new to me" 2005 S130 to find all the important stuff I might need and looking for the case drain filters I can only find the left side. There appears to be NO right side filter in there, where it should be is...
