[QUOTE="Bobcat371, post: 19745, member: 2032"] Thanks for the info Ken. I haven't checked the pedal linkage yet but will do that. The belt is tight and not slipping. The lift speed is pretty good with no load but slows down with a load. The bucket stays up with a load with the engine running - haven't shut it down with a load to see how long it holds. The Bobcat website doesn't list pressure - only shows Auxiliary High Flow 4.4 GPM. I don't have the manual but believe it says 1200 psi at 3100 rpm. I don't know what the rpm's are because I don't have a tach. I hope to find one I can borrow. Is a hydraulic flow gauge expensive or something I can rent. Don't know when I'll be able to work on the hydraulics, today the engine wouldn't turn over - just get a click when I turn the key. I put a charger on the battery so I will try again tomorrow but I think the battery is charged. Don't know what's changed since yesterday, I ran it for about an hour. All the wiring needs to be replaced - looks original and in bad shape with cracks in the insulation - haven't had time to work on this yet. Any thoughts on the engine oil leak? Sorry about the long paragraph - I've tried doing separate paragraphs and adding extra spaces after each paragraph but they're not going thru - is there a trick to this. [/QUOTE]
