It looks home made judging by the welds. I think if you can't find a new one, I would find a new splined hub and make a whole new plate to weld the hub on. Cut a circle the diameter of the outside of what you have. Measure the distance from the center to the bolt holes and drill 3 new holes in...

This is my local Bobcat dealer, Niemuth Implement in Stetsonville WI. 715-678-2271. their website is, http://www.niemuthimp.com/ They are a "old school" dealer. You talk to guys that know the machines very well and have seen everything and know what you need before you do. They don't have a...

Would that by chance be the same dealer I told you about where I got my shaft and bushings, in Stetsonville WI? I was curious if you got the pins we talked about there and if they were a little cheaper than your dealer. Thanks for all the help on my old girl, she is working great.

I sent you as email, I think, haha

Well, I think I came up with a plan. I'm going to get a new shaft and nut and try to "clean up" the sheave. The shaft is $180 and the nut $8 at bobcat. The new sheave is $550 for the entire assembly, I only need the tapered half so I'll see if I can come up with a used half or assembly. I'll...

Well I got it apart. it's not really looking good. Shaft has wear on the taper and the sheave has wear inside. looks like the nut come loose then the key broke and chewed up the tapers on the way out. I'm trying to figure out what to do from here. As I see it I have two options, replace...

I was thinking something might have happened to the nut also, hope the threads are still good on the shaft. I hope your right about thinking there might not be much damage. Go figure I use this thing as a toy constantly and rarely any trouble. I need the thing to plow 7"-8" fresh snow and in...

Have any of you guys sheared the key on the driven shaft sheave? I must have sheared mine tonight. The sheave turns as it should but the shaft is not turning with the sheave. I turned the connector block to make sure the shaft wasn't locked up and stopped turning but it turns free. I am...

Can any of you guys tell me the year of a L-35 we just picked up? It's serial number 148640. Bought it very cheap, old owner thought the Wisconsin needed a rebuild and wanted it gone. Points, condenser, cap & rotor along with a carb clean it runs like a champ. The only issues I noticed so far is...

I guess I'll be finding out, I put it in this weekend. By all the research I studied it seems to be a better choice than ATF of motor oil. Time will tell. Excellent lubricity, detergents, anti foaming and friction additives for the clutches and seemingly safe on seals where ATF is used. I will...

Thanks Hotrod. Pretty much what I was thinking. I think the trans/hydro is the way to go personally. I just want to hear any praise or horror stories to make a more informed decision. And, I usually buy al my oils bulk if I can. Every thing I own is kind of a antique and needs a lot of...

Any of you guys with the old clutch machines, 500, 600 & 610 run Tractor trans/hydraulic oil in them? I got my 600 years ago and I got it with ATF in it and have been running it since then. Seems some Bobcat manuals say ATF others say 10w-30w. I know the ATF works so I kept using it. I am...

Yup, Hotrod is right. here is a link to a you tube video showing how. Once you have done a couple you will have no problem doing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQHT1YF-iQ8

Is it possible your aux hydraulics valve is open. If you have a center pedal make sure the top of the pedal is not depressed. If your aux is on the hydraulics doesn't do much or even anything.

tazza is right about the adjusting screw go all the was in until it lightly seats and back it out 1 1/2 turn. If the spring on it is what you are talking about, don't worry about it. It is there to keep the screw from backing out due to vibrations.
