Bobcat 753 radiator cover

[Ozzy-753_Jan97]

Hi all, Are there any bobcat wreckers in Australia you can point me to? I'm missing a few things off this old 753 and I'm keen to tidy her up, like: black rear cover missing, muffler is U/S, lift arm support missing, Good thing I got it cheap aye? Just bought a really good seat for it though! for info.... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170479697974&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Really impressive quality cheers, Paul

Sadly, I'm not aware of any wreckers in .au
As for the seat, i get mine locally. They are semi-suspension, i have used a few on vairous machines.
What black rear cover are you after? a muffler won't be cheap, there was a member that built his own muffler, it works pretty well too. I'm considering making a few up. The lift arm support should be pretty simple to fabricate too.

Hey Taz, by black cover I mena the radiator cover... it's missing. I'm thinking of bending up a sheet of aluminium if I can't source a ridgy-didge one. I saw the photos of the S/S muff that Glen fabricated. looks great aye? But sadly I won't get approval for a tig past the minister for war & finance just now, not after buying a Bobcat in the last 2wks.... Maybe I can knock-up a mild steel one with the stick every 2-3yrs. Shame theres no wreckers here... theres a business opportunity maybe??? seeya

Ah got ya!
I have made one before out of punched mesh. It worked pretty well too.
As for the muffler, mild would be fine. The OEM ones aren't SS so mild wouldn't be an issue.
