[QUOTE="Russell, post: 2101, member: 291"] Thanks for the responses. Far and away, Bobcat has the best website for 'historical specs'. Why do all the other manufacturers keep that data concealed?? Anyway, yesterday I bit the bullet and bought a 1995 742B at a farm auction for $5400. Even tho it is not rated for the 1500# I need, for what little I will use it, I'm confident it will work. I need to purchase a service/ repair manual. Should these be available thru dealers? My first major task will be to plumb in auxilliary hydraulics. Since the 742B has these as an option, I assume there are ports on the main valve, or do the auxilliaries come off a power beyond port? IMPORTANT QUESTION: can I bypass the aux. control on the right steering lever ?? Since the aux will be for a tree spade, I want constant flow without having to always be conscious of the stick position. I would like to control the aux with a ball valve or other similar on-off option-- your thoughts, please. Although not severe, this machine has a modest coating of dried-on cow manure. What's the best method of removal--power wash or steam clean. I have never used either one. [/QUOTE]
