Assuming you have not swapped in an electronic ignition setup, check the point gap. My 732 w ford I4 will start to bog down going up even the slightest grade until I reset the gap.

I have had this same problem with my 732, the shutoff solenoid on the carb was sticking (and still does, on occasion). Stuck shut, no gas; stuck open, flooding. A good cleaning is all it takes to correct.

I recently purchased a set of Camso 532 SK 10x16.5 from TiresDirect.net for $145 each, more than $50 less per tire than I could find them locally and less than any other online site I could find. They have others, too, but I was impressed with what I read about these and I couldn't beat the...

Well, after destroying my gravel driveway for about four years, I broke down and bought a 6 foot snow pusher, a very popular attachment here in southeast Minnesota. It does take down the rise in the middle of the driveway but that's it. it will leave some snow behind, but I go back over with...

I didn't see a conclusion to this and this sounds exactly like the trouble I had (and still do every now and then) with my 732. The fuel shutoff solenoid on the carb can get gunked up and fail to either open or close; stuck open and the thing floods like the Minnesota River in the springtime...

I was scanning the forum for the first time in a while and found this thread unfinished. I thought that odd because I was sure I finished it. At any rate, with the help of the knowledgeable and helpful Tazza, spitzair, flyerdan, and my ever so kind neighbor Adam, I got the bloody thing done. The...

Thanks, Tazza. I wish I had drained it before I removed the rops (and the ignition switch!). I just removed the hoses and let it drain and that seemed to work with minimal mess. _____ I spent the whole day today cleaning what appears to be 40 years of crap form under everything, getting the...

Thanks again, Tazza; I'll do that. And it looks like no easy out for me. The service manual says there are four bolts holding the pump to the chain case and I can only see three of them. It appears that the fourth one, on the right rear, is underneath two of the hoses. So, I'll have to remove...

Thanks, flyerdan, Tazza, I'll check around and see if I can find some plugs/caps. ----- The reason for removing the rops and lifting the arms is to allowworking from the side, especially if I can do the job with just lifting the pump instead of removing it completely. Any, yes, putting a jack...

Yep, the bolt sheered off at the top of the chain case. Great! _____ But I've got a plan to get this bugger working again. My neighbor will help me take the rops off with this skidloader and, if I can't rig a temporary pivot block to get the arms raised under power, I'll disconnect the arm...

Thanks much, spitzair, I believe that I did find the issue. The linkage bar that sits under the hydrostatic unit does appear to have lost its pivot point. However, the Bobcat online parts diagram shows a bolt that passes through the bar from underneath. I can see the hole that this bolt must...

Thanks, Tazza; no way I'd have ever thought of that. I did not get a chance to try this today after work, had to seed an acre and a half of pasture before the rain with a lawn spreader (note to self - don't do that!). I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

All of a sudden, the lift doesn't. All other functions are fine, bucket tilts and forward/backward motion just like before. With the machine powered off, I can move the lift pedal and the linkage moves but does not feel right. When I manipulate the tilt pedal, there is slight resistance and the...

Well, it's bobcat 2, idiot owner/operator zero. I switched back to the mechanical fuel pump and she runs like a top. Once again, what appears to me to be ain't. What really hurts, is the fact that the electric pump was only in there because it "appeared" that the mechanical pump was shot - not...

I've pretty much done that. I've replaced all fuel hoses and checked the flow by attaching a length of fuel hose to each hard component. Over the weekend, I attached that hose to the output of the filter and appears to flow well, perhaps a bit less than ahead of the filter but not significantly...
