There is some sort of button on what looks like some kind of fuel pump on the front of the motor, I pushed it down, it seemed like it was spring loaded, but it didn't come back up, I sprayed WD-40 on it and it,s still in the down position, I haven't tried to start start it in fear I might have...

It runs good when it starts, What is very exspensive?, and if It's blow-by what's involved in repairing it?. Thanks for the input, Whitey

The smoke is white,

I have a 631 Bobcat with a 2cyl. Deutz motor, it's hard to start when it's cold and when it does it smokes a lot, the smoke dissipates almost completely after it has run for about 10 minutes, but it still smokes a little, it used less then a 1/2 quart of oil after about 60 hrs. of use, I had...

It's to steep to back up and dump, I tried that down further on a lot lesser grade I only raised the bucket about a foot and it tipped forward, plus it's too far to back up beings the trail's windy and not much wider then the machine and the shoulder is soft, I already had my rear tire go off...

I'm helping my brother-in law repair eroded ground behind nine log cabins overlooking a creek, the lowest cabin is about is about 20' up from the creek but the forth one is about 80' we're building a path behind the cabins about 7' wide, he's using a mini-excavator which he drives right up the...

I have an older 631 with a 2cyl Deutz motor in it , I have to turn the key off and pull the throttle back to shut it down, the guy I bought it from told me that's how he always shut it down, I thought that was kind of odd. My son-in law owns a landscaping business, he has four fairly new New...

I replaced the drive gear in the starter today,now the engine wont turn over and there's no power to the ignition.

The Bendix gear on my starter is worn out, I removed the starter and disassembled it but I can't figure out how to get the bearing off of the armature shaft where the bendix gear hits when it's engaged. it has a groove on the shaft right under the front edge of the bearing but there's no snap...

Thanks for the reply, The next question is how can you test the switch to see if it is working, I would think that if you turned the key on both warning lights would light up until the motor starts

When the key is turned on is the light on the dash suppose to go on for the temp sensor, I assume it is the light on the left, the one to the right goes on the one to the left doesn't. Thanks for all the help Whitey

I have a 631 Bobcat, the tires are almost down to the cord they're 10x16.5 , there is only about 1 1/2" of clearance between the tire and the lifting arm, will new tires have enough clearance, I have a manual that covers the 630, 631, & 632 it lists a 7x15 tire as standard I'd hate to have to...

Thanks for the info., I just topped it off and would hated to have to drain it all out.

I have a 631 Bobcat the temperature warning light doesn't work, do I have to drain the hydraulic fluid to change it? Thanks Whitey

I have a 631 Bobcat, it's very low on hydraulic oil, The Bobcat dealer wants to sell me 5 gals. for $85.00, I can get 5 gals. at Tractor Supply for $35.00 it's ISO-VG-46 sae 20 equivalent. Would this be okay to use. Thanks Whitey
