You might want to change out your starter and alt to 12V rather than try to add an extra battery. (Not much room) I`m not sure if you have a cable stop or solenoid on your pump ether. If you do decide to add an extra Battery you could just get 12v off one of the battery's for your accessories ...

Basically they are speed nut U type or like Genie 8115B17.S Speed Nut (Squeeze Nut). As for the real bobcat name, I have no idea.

Just hook them up and the air will work out on it`s own pretty quick.

Watch your local market place like fb and check with tire shops that deal with larger equipment. You may get lucky! Volks

Your Predator 459cc is a slight bit smaller than the original but would work. Your looking at a big project ahead of you! The hydraulic hoses add up in cost when you start replacing all of them. Been there!

Sounds like a possibility Gearclash!

Pretty sure that the 453 model has manual valves and no electric solenoid valves.

Hi tylerdurdenphi. Pushing the pedal all the way plus some will make the loader arms lock in the float function if everything is working properly. That part is normal. The rest of the problems you guys describe could be from an internal seal leak in the cylinders.

No problem. Let us know how you make out!

Just search for..... nok 16253-214 I think I paid around $6 ea. for them when I found them.

Lots of research on the internet led me to the seals being the problem. There was no leaking around the seals and I was skeptical if they were the problem at all. Changed them and everything was instantly good again. Parts are hard to find. Ebay was my friend for the seals.

Hi Eric. I`m a little late here but, I have had the same issue with my 440. Foam in the oil and overflowing just about the same as you. Drove me crazy trying to find the problem! On Mine, I had to replace the Pintle shaft seals. Not to hard to do. Pintle shafts are what steering arms hook to...

To many moving parts and it`s gonna sound like a train running is all i can think of.

The hydraulic pump for the one with the wet line is a larger gpm. Your best bet probably would be to find a donor machine with all hydraulic parts you need or trade up for another machine. Don`t let the size of the machine fool ya. It can do alot of work for it`s size.

Glad to hear you got it figured out and to bad about the new glow plugs not fitting. But guess you got time to look for a spare now!
