1996 Bobcat 751 glow plug preheat relay. I need a replacement. Bobcat of Asheville tells me they are no longer available. Any suggestions where I might find one?
 
Most relays I've saw on bobcats from that era are very common and abundant.

Your best bet is to just wire direct to a push button switch. you dont need the auto glow timer

the one i had needed the relay contacts in the module cleaning from time to time. i made do till i sold the machine

So, I would just run a hot wire to the switch and then back to the glow plug?
 
Take your old one to a truck, auto parts store, tractor repair parts, heavy equipment parts repair. And see if they can cross it. Those relays are use in a lot of other applications not just Bob Cats!
 
if you go the route of a switch for the glow plugs make sure that all of the wiring and switch are rated for the amount of amps that you are gonna pull, as a guess at least 20 amps, so like 12 gauge wire ,cause you are only gonna have it energized for 10 seconds or so.
 
Check relay for manufacturer product numbers and cross reference with another manufacturer. That is what I had to do for my 753.
 
Don't shop at your local bobcat dealer, they very rarely have parts for older machines and if they do they rape you on the price (and shipping to Alaska). The bobcat website has diagrams and part numbers of all their machines. You just need to input your serial number and then work through the diagrams. Once you find the part number for the glow plug relay, just do internet search with the part number and the name of the part, and you'll be able to find what you need. I get a lot of my parts from eBay, fridayparts.com, all skid steers.com. I've done this in the past for my 753, 763, 773, 853, and my total restoration of a 1974 M610.
