[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 375, member: 33"] I like to be prepared for any breakdowns because downtime costs me money. I have a list of parts and pieces I like to keep in case I breakdown during a weekend or the dealership is out of the part. 1.) Spare valve stem. It seems like the valve stem can get knocked off at the most inopportune time and I don't know if most tire shops carry the same stems required for my tires. 2.) Spare tire. I have an oddball floatation tire size that my dealer does not stock. I bought a tire but did not have it mounted. At least I have a tire and won't have to wait a week to order one in. I may buy another rim and have it mounted, but would have to guess what side of the machine may have a flat since they are directionally mounted. 3.) Spare filters. I have airfilters, oil filters, and fuel filters on hand. 4.) Hydrostatic oil. I keep a bottle of the Bobcat oil on hand. Does anyone know if there is another brand which meets Bobcat's specs which may be cheaper? I call the Bobcat oil “Black Gold“ because of the price. 5.) Glycol. My Bobcat specs out polyproplylene glycol and I purchase some of Bobcat's own. There may be other brands that meet the spec, but it was easier to buy Bobcat brand. I would like to have a selection of hydraulic hose and aeroquip fittings on hand, but the price is pretty high for this. I had a hyraulic hose break on a 3 day holiday weekend when the dealership and another hydraulic center was closed. Dissapointing not being able to finish the job until Monday. Can anyone else add to this list of “essentials”? [/QUOTE]
