Bobcat 100

[Effinay]

Hi Everybody, New guy here and just purchased what seems to be a somewhat rare model mini-ex. It's the 100 model equipped with the stock hydraulic thumb. This old girl has seen better days, but she doesn't look as though she's been worked to hard. Haven't found any evidence of big weld jobs, things bent (other than tin), or other abuses. One final drive has bitten the dust and I'm trying to find a service/shop manual or any other maintenance manuals. I've tried the local distributor and he asked a couple guys out back. Seems as though the general response is NO, and stay clear of this one. I've never backed down from owning something obscure. Hell, most of the stuff I own is as old as I am.....Can anybody help a guy out? As soon as I can figure out how, I'll post some pics. Thanks!

That is one of the first generation min ex, those were made by komatsu. I don't know if a komatsu dealer can help, but may point you in the right direction.
