Insulation

Does anyone have a suggestion on what to use to replace the insulation around and behind the fuel tank and hydraulic resevoir? Older 630 model. I would imagine it would be pretty pricey from Bobcat. What about homosote?

I never worried about mine. The newer 743 machines never had the insulation anyway.

I just installed some fiberglass ceiling tile, it is compressed and about 3/4 inch thick. When I was putting it up I thought this is just like the insulation the 632 had in it. Was 5 bucks for 2 by 4 foot tile.

Good idea Jerry
Taz, something need to go there, the fuel tank and hydraulic resevoir are just kind of sandwiched between the frame and the plate behind the seat and the insulation keeps them snug. There are no starps or fasteners
