    Bobcat M-371

    Mine has clutches. I understand that maybe...a big maybe...some of the last ones used hydraulic motors. I havn't seen any myself. ATF is what should be used with the clutch driven M-371. The way to tell is to push it with the engine off. If you can, and it should be easy, it has clutches. A...

    Bobcat M-371

    I also have a M-371. To check the level of the hydraulic fluid, which should be ATF, there are two small bolts on the right side between the tires. Take them out and if any fluid comes out of either one, it's full. If not, fill through the fill tube until it comes out the lower of the side...

If a jackshaft is where the drive pulley is/connected to, I havn't replaced mine yet. If that isn't the jackshaft, let me know and I'll see if I can...

    Hydraulic cylinder repair

    I havn't posted before here, being new and everything to skidsteers, but I have an older M371 which I have been fixing up. It runs fine now, as I had to fabricate a new throttle which was missing. Lately, I had to rebuild a tilt cylinder which had blown a seal and leaked. Before I jumped into...
