I don't have a parts book for the 600 so I don't know if the pumps were different. It could be the higher flow was a result of the higher RPM's of the 30hp. 25hp ran at 2400 rpm's and the 30hp at 2800.
Thanks oldMachanist and going by the old historical specs the bucket could very well be from a M600E witch is 60" wide and and my bucket is 60 .5" wide I know that 25hp motor has alot of power possibly been modded I can tilt the bucket down to the virgin grownd and push till the buckets full and hear a very tiny rpm drop as near as I can figure it looks like the four top eye hooks are four lifting it with a crane or some other machinery.
who should I order my manual from thats good quality ?
This is the best forum that I have used you guys are a huge help. I had this machine given to me and the person who gave it to me was frustrated that he could not get it to run and when he gave it to me he said that the person he got it from did not know the model. Not knowing what I was up against I said I guess I got myself A project I scrapped around abit and found a disconnected fuel pump wire and she fired rite up but shes got some hydraulic leaks so now im going to tackle those issues,bucket jerks when raising dont know if its a leak in the suction hose or whats going on I do see hydraulic all over the pump.
IS their supposed to be a locking brake or any type brake other than using your clutches?
machine tries to crawl forward on its own .
Brakes were an option on these machines. Sounds like you need to adjust the clutches. Send a message to the email address in my profile and I'll send you some info on the adjustment procedure.
For some reason Omachinist my darn machine will not let me email you keeps reading mail cliant........ my email is in my profile Thanks
Your profile doesn't show any email address.
Im not very computor savy I had to update my profile
anyone recomend a good tool to remove the clutch adjustment cover nut on a modified M610 ?
While there isn't one on there at this moment......e-bay is often a good place to find that tool at a reasonable price. In the mean time you can get by with a chain or strap wrench or a big arsed pair of channel locks will do the trick also.
Juist picked up a craftsman strap wrench figured I would give that a whirl letcha know what I think of it
Punky.......in case you're interested. There is a clutch wrench for sale on e-bay now. Search "600 bobcat" ....price is at $21 with 6 days left.
