[QUOTE="M700man, post: 4017, member: 365"] Hi guys, Acquired a Bobcat Farmboy, which according to the dealers I've talked to : (a) does not exist (b) is about 40 years old (c) is not a Bobcat, I just think it is. Even called the factory in North Dakota and the brilliant woman who was supposed be a Tech said I should just consult the owners manual. Right. What manual ? First told me that I was making this up. Why didn't I call MY dealer. Right, again. Well, after calling about 8 dealers, talking to parts/service, finally one says "oh, it's a 440". Well according to Bobcat's website it was built in 1985 and 1986. The ID plate only says Farmboy and lists a serial number. So, my question is, and I know there's suppose to be an exBobcat mechanic on this site, is it a 440 or are there differences. It came with a Kohler Magnum18 engine with a hole in the side of the block. So, here we go. It has, what appears to be ATF fluid in it, but the decals say consult your owners manual. This is no help. Can anyone bail me out here ? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks John [/QUOTE]
