[QUOTE="todderwater, post: 81371, member: 11597"] antfarmer2, thanks for the suggestion, I picked up some loctite 660, which is for bearings and it seems like it's done it's job, I can not move the bushings anymore. I just have not had the time to work on the machine, hopefully in the next couple days... Tazza, yeah the two minute glow plug time was not to my liking either, but, once I repaired the leaks at the injector pump and bled the air from the system, it started up without using the glow plugs at all, granted it was 55° in the shop. I'm in the process of reassembly of all the steering mechanisms, was delayed a bit with the loose bushing issue, but that is resolved now. by the way, the bobcat dealer called and said to use the center punch method to stop the bushing from moving...I still don't like that method, the loctite 660 should take care of it, just have to watch to make sure it'll hold up, I think it will. this is my first time working on one like this, I worked on a couple old case skid steers about 20 years ago, can't say that those were any easier. I've replaced the centering spring, all the bushings, all the pivot bolts, the cams, and the vinyl guides, the pintle bars I just flipped 180° and are reusing them, the centering bracket had some wear so I welded it and had it machined. basically anything that has any wear is getting replaced, or welded and machined. I really don't want to have to do this again, at least not until I can wear the parts out myself. hopefully I can get the time in the next day or so to put it back together and do the first attempt at adjusting it.
