Gents, Good day. I have a 322 that is bleeding hydraulic oil. Started talking to one of parts guys at local Bobcat dealer. He researched my serial number and ............turns out......there is an upgrade (factory recommended ) to the original swivel. Who can resist buying a shiny new swivel...

Tazz, Thank you for reply - and nice to hear from you again. Yes, had I known then what I know now - I would not have been the purchaser of a burned machine. Pretty substantial fire. The hold-down for the hydraulic lines that run up "the tower" on the right rear of the machine - vibrated ( or...

Gents, Tying off the thread on this one: I punted. Basically gave the M700 away to a guy with more skills and fortitude than I. He ended up putting in an Izusu diesel. Turned out to be a nice finished product, but.............it took waaaaayyyyy more hours than I had to invest into taking it...

Gentlemen, It has been a looong time since my last post. Hope this note finds everyone well. And.................I would like to say thank you for all the wisdom/communication in the past. Continuing the saga of my burnt 864: Latest idea is to repower the 864 with a Kubota v3300 since the...

I may be too late to add any value, but............... track down a seller on Ebay by name of Old Forge Power - oldforgepower. They part out tractors and skidsteers. I've bought misc from them in the past. They've treated me well. They are in Pennsylvania - FWiW. Cheers, Jim

Tazza, as always- thank you for the help.

Team, Anyone know if a D905 will fit in the place of the D902 I need to replace? I know zero about Kubota compatibility. Hope y'all are great. Thanks, Jim

Tazza - thank you for reply. * Apologies for the delay. * You read my mind re: hardfacing. * Need to get my eyes on a running MT55 so I can see how much room there is between a non-worn drive shoulder and a correctly installed track to determine how thick I can go with hardfacing. * Photos: the...

Hmmmn, can't post pic. Will upload to photo bucket later and post link. Sorry.

*Man, I love the projects I get myself into. Diving into fixing the messed up Kubota D902 (separate thread) - I noticed that the tracks had worn the shoulders on the hydraulic drives - both sides of the machine. See photo of right side drive below. *I am assuming that the tracks had either worn...

OM, Many thanks!

Old Machinist, I keep missing 902s that are for sale. Plus, I'm thinking of just biting the proverbial bullet and starting fresh. This D902 I've got pushed a lot of bearing material thru the oil system before it was shut down. The cam journals on the cam don't look so good. The 902 block does...

Thank you Sir!! I will call tomorrow.

Team, Long time. Hope everyone is well. I just acquired a new project: An MT55 with a boo boo'd motor. The Kubota D902 spun the bearing on the rear main. After making a few calls - I think the most cost effective route will be to rebuild the engine (as long as the rear main journal on the crank...

Melli, Your photos are great. Thank you for them. I pressure washed my machine today and will most likely be diving into in a few days. Your machine looks well maintained/clean compared to the condition I acquired mine in. Appreciate the help. Jim
