Bobcat 873G

[goudewolf]

I am e real newby in two ways i am from overseas and i do have for the first time in my life a Bobcat. I did get it rather not that expensive ,buuuut there are some problems with the machine . I do need a oil cooler (and the one in my machine is a combination of engine cooler (top) and hydraulic cooler (botom)). I am looking for days online and where the hell are the parts to be got?? Bobcat itself is extremely expensive!! You do have a nice forum here, so there might be someone to give some light in my darkness. Rolf

Greetings and welcome. You might want to check out a local radiator shop. They can usually rebuilt most existing coolers. Though I admit I have never taken equipment parts to them, I have never seen an automotive radiator they couldn't fix. Worth a shot, in my opinion. Good luck, Marty

Chipper is on the right track , go to a radiator shop that deals with industrial machinery , the one I use can repair , duplicate or make something that will fit and work in most cases ------most all of the time though for me it is about down time and if you have to rent a machine to replace the one that is down then it works out better to just buy from the dealer and get up and running , if you are loosing time and money to save money it doesn't make sense , but then if you ain't working anyway and have a lot of time on your hands then it is rebuildable or fab a new one
