eyyu those old kolhers run with a certain amount of vibration anyway.

the coupler on my 632 bolts to the engine flywheel and slides onto the splines of the pump. i have the 4cyl ford engine but a friend has a 4cyl wisconsin engine on a bobcat,trencher and a waterpunp and he swears by them. like tazz says it would be easier to stay orignal than to rigg something...

osceola cabin the motor in the 632 is a very good engine. it is a ford ind. engine and i have gotten good servive out of mine. you can turn the govoner up and it really goes. napa stocks all the parts you need. tsanders

SLK not trying to add fuel to flame on hyd. oil debate but i used hyd oil in my 632 when i first bought it and blowed 3 seals. asked bobcat dealer( 15 years or so ago) and i was told to run 30 weight non detergent oil. getting hard to find now but dollar general still keeps it for me. tsanders

perry skidsteer is right about the delco alt. they are cheap in price and plentiful. i replaced all mine with delco single wire alt and that way you dont have to stock a lot of spares. these things last forever if you dont try to get a real high amp. i wonder at times why all construction...

hawker let us know about the gas usage. it will probably be quite less. will probably pay for itself in the long run. but as skidsteer said kohlers are good engines as their are quite a few still running after 30 or 40 years service. sad to say but they have had to cheapen their products to stay...

pondfishr i have the upmost confidence in lucas oil products. i run all thier products in everything i own. my camper had a jerk in the steering so i carried it to an alingmet shop and after checking it they found nothing wrong. they said i should put lucas power steering fluid in it and i did ...

when working as a mechanic at bakery we were told that filters of the saqme name and num ber were all built to different specs depending on what the retailer wanted. this was hard to believe until our dist. came over and cut open an ac filter that we had been buying before buying from safety...

is there a place to see pictures of bobcats to help determine calors of paint and differences in machines? thanks for any help.

welcome to the school of hard knocks. if you are just getting started you should charge by the hour. many times people will change their minds while the job is going on and you cannt get hurt when chargeing by the hour. also let the customer be responsible for any materials they need. at times...

be sure you have the right filters as some will look the same but put more restriction on the intake. also make sure you grt new filters as an older stock filter will not work as well.tazza is right about the sensor it could be bad. they make a cheaper guage that has a sight rod that you can...

when you buy your probe be sure you get one that you can find replacement tips for it. in alabama when they locate the lines they tell you that they could be off 3 ft which means you need someone to probe and dig down with a shovel first. you need to be easy with a shovel because they can hold...

did the problem start before or after you had the machine serviced. it could be that it is sucking a little air and affecting it this way. i have had them do this when they werent tight enough or had a bad rubber seal on them.

be sure and mark all your hoses with tape or paint so they go back correctly. dont let this job scare you because there are a lot of good people here that will help you get the job done.
