[QUOTE="m610, post: 4194, member: 372"] The glow plugs seem to work as the voltmeter does drop when key is turned, then goes up when started. I went straight down the parking lot for at least 100 feetthen stopped with the front rire's tape up. The rear tire's tape was near the bottom, like it had rotated around more than 90 degrees from starting in top position. It was 80 degrees when I got there and started the engine. Pulling the oil filler does not show any blow by but I am sure it's being sucked in the ventilation system anyway. Radiator looks to be in exceptional shape but the hydraulic fluid looks too light colored unless newer machines use a different type than older ones. I did see the black box on the side of the seat but no visible lights just rust. The bobtach system looks completely unused, and the levers are quite rusty but the pins do have a lot of grease around the fittings. I was not aware that there are different sized sprockets that fit any given Bobcat. After work I am going to visit the machine again, is there anything I should look for? If it's not a basket case and the price is right I look forward to adding it to my collection. [/QUOTE]
