What us the MFR of this unit you described? Air cooled Engine? Such as Onan? It this a factory fan or an add on? Lets say it's air cooled. Try cleaning the engine of dirt Grease, and so on. If not air cooled then it is possible the fan was added due to overheating hard to say based on...

When computers are on the machine, I say your correct. If not, then I would still disconnect the battery and ground the unit well then do the welding or as some said take the bucket off.

Better safe then sorry. Disconnect the battery is one way and add a ground to ground also. If it remains on the unit. All to protect any electrical that may be damaged. Or just take the bucket off so there is not chance of a backfeed. Not that hard to do. Prop the bucket where you feel you...

How is the engine Oil? Is there a safety cut off on it for low oils. Just a thought. What engine is in it? Can the fuel shut off be faulty? Bad fuse or blown fuse. To shut off abruptly sounds like lack of fuel etc. Yet a possible saftey switch that opened could be another issue. Can you...

This is what I found in another post on this site. If the skidsteer moves even slightly after application of parking break the locking dog will have pressure on it. This is almost guaranteed if parking on any slope. The locking dog will not release until the pressure is removed. Gently creep...

Also I read up on this some. Can you rock the machine forward and backward at all. Use the bucket if need be to push and pull it may be stuck as some said in other posts.

I was going to say Seat bar safety switch but if you did that then that's not it. How about a break locking up? All the other functions work? Is there new fuses in place? The safety switches are done you said. Is there a seat switch? Not that familar with this unit but wanted to toss some...

You cannot show the bad side in a picture? Not visible or? That may help get a better answer. If possible. While your waiting for crowes feet soak the fitting with good penetrating oil. If you can spray it and spray it do that. Worse case is pull the cyl. with the hose attached to gain...

One more thing on this, If that hose is long enough to cut the end off and reuse it that may save some $$ but if not make sure you match or know the pressure rating of that hose and replace it with like hose. Good Hyd. shop can make you one.

If your trying to remove the line from the cylinder end try some penetrating oil there as well. If the hose thread directly into the cyl. casting it maybe frozen rust etc. If that fails use some heat but not alot and protect the cylinder with wet cold rags. Somtimes just a bit of heat will due...

What does the other end of the hose thread into? Or is it the same as the picture shows? Is it in cast steel valve or does it attach the same way as the picture shows. Soak it with some penetrant. If it is into a threaded casting of some type you could heat it but not much. Can you get a...

As they all said above. If it is possible to replace it do it. This hose is most likey a steel braded hose and will go at some point. The steel brade under it protects the inner tube as one said. Depending on the use and pressure of this hose which some time you can read on the hose sides and...

I agree with all you just said. Cleaning in and out and inspecting the walls inside another way fill the cracks etc. It would take me a year or so. All the junk collected and so on. But that is worth the try. I heard of the copper and stainless steelwool. My point of entry is the garage...

Good points. I was going to use the bucket pool again and now wonder if it will lure more in to the spot I park it. I did a cleaning of the garage I park it in. Then put out the dryer sheets etc. I saw no sign of them for a year. And that means I basically eliminated the smell or lure to the...

Great!
