[QUOTE="OldMachinist, post: 65256, member: 437"] To get to the bolts that hold the seat in you need to raise the cab. To raise the cab, there is a nut in the each front corner of the cab. Remove the nuts/washers and raise the cab. Be careful some of the older machines had wiring harnesses that needed to be unplugged first so watch for that. Also it may take more than one person to lift if it doesn't have the struts that help. You can order rubber grips from McMaster Carr. Just measure the tubes and order whatever style you like. [URL]http://www.mcmaster.com/#rubber-grips/=mdm875[/URL] A new latch will likely need to come from a Bobcat dealer. They do sell parts for the old machines. You can replace one of the aux. couplers with a gauge to verify they're working correctly. This will also let you see what kind of pressure you're getting from the pump. It should be 2200-2400 PSI at full throttle. For the leaks just clean everthing up and then try to find them. As a side note I edited your post to make it easier to read.
