Message: <blockquote data-quote="Barfly69" data-source="post: 10452" data-attributes="member: 1294"><p>I finally talked my wife into allowing me to buy a Bobcat to supplement our income, snow removal, landscapeing etc. Anyway I took my time looking and found a good deal, well a deal I thought was good I found this 1991 642 B gas engine 4 litre mitubitshi with 2400 hours on it it also came with a 18 foot Trailtech trailer hydraulic lift as well with 4 buckets 1 is a 8 foot snow bucket the other 3 are 1/3 yd standard and finally a snowblade. The motor runs perfectly the bucket operations also work perfectly as I only used it so far to clean up driveways around the neigbourhood it seemed to run great. The older gentleman I bought it from used it primarilly to clean snow in his condiminium complex over the last 12 years for $4000 a month. Ok to the problem, yesterday I took it out of the garage to clean the snow in my backyard and it started to make a noise like a ice crushing noise from underneath along with some vibration when I attempted to go forward or reverse more so in the forward motion. I had taken it to the carwash a couple days earlier and am hoping it is maybe a ice build up somewhere underneath? Everything works it pivots and goes forward and reverse but the noise and vibration has me very concerned I store it in a insulated gargage although unheated. If it is something major I'm dead the wife will kill me <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> Does anyone have any suggestions on what it possibly could be and what to look for? I really appreciate any advise anyone could give me, I have read numerous posts in here and you guys seem to be very friendly and intellegent in this area, I have looked in other forums and this one seems to be nooby friendly...haha. I am at your mercy thx in advance. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Cal</p></blockquote><p></p>
