Thanks. It’s kind of a PITA to get to, but I will definitely check this out before the weather warms up. Last fall before I parked it, I noticed the glow plugs wouldn’t energize when it was maybe 50-55 degrees. This spring, in about 45 degrees, the BOSS displayed glow for about 10 seconds and it...

The new sensor was purchased at Bobcat using my serial number. I do notice that on cooler mornings it shows no bars for a period but it still never goes over 1 bar regardless.

One updated new aux. hydraulic control for one handle and a blank on the other. Installing to the newer version also required some minor rewiring. In addition, the metal levers themselves that go through the panel also have to replaced to accept the new controls. Bobcat wanted about $500-$550...

I went to another dealer (Barron Supply) and they were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They printed the bulletin for me and we walked through exactly what I would need to do for my specific machine as the bulletin covered many models.

I've been running this machine for about 10 hours and it still never goes over 1 bar. The engine definitely is not running hot. I had replaced the cylinder head, water pump, thermostat and temp sensor and it's running great. At this point, I'm not too concerned about it displaying only 1 bar.

Figured this one out. It wasn't cold enough. I would have thought the glow plugs would come on at 55 degrees or colder as my diesel truck. When I went to start it this spring, the BOSS controller displayed GLOW and I had about 9-10 volts going to the glow plug relay. In my haste, I also...

Just to follow-up on this one. I purchased a new cylinder head from an internet outfit for about $300 (no core required). The head ended up being the new style but there were taps for my valve cover design. I put everything together and it runs great. The only thing I noticed, and I haven't...

In case anyone else has a similar problem. After I pulled the drive motor, I noticed it had the new design carrier seal, so it was obvious someone else was in there. I pulled the seal and was cleaning out the carrier, I felt something that shouldn't have been there. Whomever was in there...

I should add, that there is no case drain filters on this early one. The drain case hydraulic line from the drive motor runs back to the control valve, where it's tee'd into the valve, but continues through to the reservoir. When I put dye in the oil, I can see the dye all the way around where...

I have 753(F) where I have a significant hydraulic oil leak around the drive motor flange to the carrier. The oil is definitely not coming from the chain case. When the oil is at full operating temperature, it will even drain the hydraulic reservoir tank. I’m curious what would cause a leak in...

I rechecked everything and I do not have continuity from the switch to the relay. The green/yellow wire must release pressure in the auxiliary hydraulics. When cold I have a blue wire at the glow plug relay with no power when the ignition is turned on nor do my Boss gauges indicate glow plug...
