I just performed the test. 2800RPMs will full forward on both drive sticks in park. Pressure went to 19 PSI. That says the turbo is fine. There is something very wrong with the machine, it can't even move itself forward at idle. It makes such a horrible laboring sound if you try. I spoke...

Here is the section from the manual on testing boost. I had just ignored it as it seemed odd and harsh on the machine. But once the weather improves, I will repeat the boost test.

No error codes. Apparently the machine has a fuel pressure sensor. Since there are no codes, I assume the pressure is not completely out of whack. It seems to me that if the machine is able to put out 2800 RPMs, then the fuel system and mechanical aspects of the engine should not matter...

The fan spins freely and smooth. No signs of housing impact. It has no wastegate... instead it has a valve on the path between turbo and inter-cooler. Its wide open. My next step is to pressure test the turbo pathways. Though visually, all looks good.

Its only been 7 years, but I got around to checking the boost on the 323D. The spec says 2800RPM: 20 PSI Boost I measured it: idle/1200RPM: 0 PSI (but not a vacuum) @ 2800 RPM: 4 PSI (steady) Any boost at all means the turbo is spinning.... Or could it mean that the Turbo is frozen and...

Anyone know the process for testing the Hydraulic pump on a 319D or 323D? I suspect that the output is weak.

That was one of the first things I checked. I pulled the hose off the turbo while it was running. The turbo was spinning and pumping out a lot of air.

I have a 2011 323D. If the throttle is less than 60% the machine labors and whines if you try to move it. In fact, if you try to move it, it can bog down so badly as to kill the engine. My Bobcat S150, can be moved at idle slowly with no complaints. Not possible with the Deere. I thought this...

The 323D has a 69HP, 192ft lbs torque, Turbo Diesel. . My S150 has a 46.1HP @ 109ftlbs torque, no turbo. . I can't say I have noticed the sound of the turbo.....its a fairly load tractor, especially with the throttle greater than 50%. . Now I'm wondering if the turbo is even spinning. ...

I have two skid steers; a 2010 Bobcat S150 and a 2011 John Deere 323D With the bobcat, you can operate with a low throttle. The lower the throttle the slower it moves but it does not complain With the 323D, it needs 50+% throttle to do anything. Any less than that and it really strains and...

Is there an online manual for the Kubota V2203 Diesel engine? I believe this is the engine in the Bobcat 2010 S150. It may be the V2203MDI. Not sure the “MDI“ maters Thanks,

Even thought it is a 2010, I'm the fourth owner. My understanding is Bobcat only gives a 12 month warranty. So the warranty is not a factor. I'm looking for a common brand, something I'm able to find at Autozone, O'Reilly, Advanced auto, Walmart, etc. It is not convenient to seek out the...

Apparently the oil used in the Hydrostatic drive, Hydraulic system and the final drive (Chaincase), is all the same for my 2010 S150. It is not clear if Bobcat used Synthetic oil or not when new. Can I use Synthetic oil in all three of these systems? What is a main stream cross reference oil for...
