Hey, new to the forum. Nice site. I've got an 03 S150 with about 16xx hours on it. Pretty sure its a Kubota V2203? The machine is used very infrequently and last time I noticed it made a whirling noise when turning and just didn't seem 100%. I used it this weekend to move some firewood and it started to stall out on me after 45 mins or so I hurried to get it back in the shop, it stalled, fired right back up. While it was in the shop I started it up and the "Hydros Charge 24" light came on steady. I shut it down. Looked around for obvious leaks/issues/etc. On the next start up it beeped a few times. No codes are being shown. So it starts and runs fine, at idle I can move around no problem - didnt put any real load on it. Once I put it at half throttle it starts to bog down and want to die out. I adjusted the pulley as mentioned on here - and I suspect that pulley/tensioner is bad. I pulled the dust cap and it was still greased up from when the belt was changed 1-2 years ago. It sounds.... not great? No luck on finding where this "Bronze" hydraulic bushing may be -- any pictures? If anyone could give me some pointers I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Drew

have you changed filters?
I think the filter has less than 100 hours on it. I'm gonna head to the bobcat dealer in the morning and grab some filters and hopefully some advice. Would like to just get this thing going again as my forklift is also giving me problems....

To find the case drain filters follow the smaller third hydraulic line from the drive motors until you see a canister that looks like this.
Have some caps ready for the lines or it will really make a mess.
