New Member - Bobcat "Farmboy" 440

[cwmech]

Hello all, new member here from Southern Alberta, Canada. I recently purchased a Bobcat Farmboy which from my research is a 440, appears to be a 1986. I'm a heavy duty mechanic, worked for Case IH for 8 years or so then started out on my own. Hope to be of help if I can, and look forward to learning lots from the group! If anyone has any info or tips about a 440 by all means post

Hi CW, my farm boy was owned and used by a horse racing business in Louisiana. It was brought to Texas when owner retired and sold out. Years later a freind of mine found it in a barn at owners house.
I eventually traded a motorcycle for it.
It barely operated. Over a 2 yr time frame I rebuilt most of it and repainted and decaled it.
Had to modify and find some parts for it because a bunch are no longer available.
Ran and operated perfect the day I sold it. I used it weekly for almost 8 years
Hope you get a lot of use from yours.
Best wishes.
D.
