Can anyone recommend an extendable boom that works within the limits of the Toolcat. I have a metal building (24'x35') that we'll be erecting and rather than hiring a boom truck (the top of the steel trusses will only be 14' above the floor), I'd rather spend the money on a telescoping boom...

The six OE worklight (not-headlight) bulbs are 50W Halogens, Bobcat P/N 6675336 bulbs. I'm looking for a whiter, more spread out beam pattern and wondered if anyone has tried replacing these with LED equivalents and if they were satisfied with the LED's. Thanks, DEWFPO

I need help diagnosing a power issue on my 2009 Toolcat 5600D. I know my way around gas engines pretty darn well and I've owned 2 diesel engines but have only done basic maintenance on the diesels so I am literally a novice when it comes to diagnosing diesel engine issues. I apologize in...

Mine is squealing like it's got a bad bearing. I pulled the grill and filter on the passengers side but the evaporator is right behind the filter. Has anyone pulled the fan/motor? Mine's an '09 D series. I'm trying to figure out how to get to it. Thanks

Has anyone extended their exhaust pipe up to the top of the cab? When I'm snowblowing and the snow gets as deep as it is now the side exhaust bounces off the snow walls or building and sometimes get sucked into the cab ventilation system. If I had access to a trailer I could take it to someone...

I believe what I am describing below is normal but I don't understand how or why it happens. Maybe someone who understands the hydraulic system on the 5600D can explain. Driving up a steep grade in Work Mode, Low Speed Range, Full throttle, Full Go Pedal and Attachment(s) Power OFF, the...

As part of my maintenance I checked the low side A/C pressures yesterday and at 72F ambient, the pressure switch cuts the compressor out at 15 psi and cuts it in at 30 psi. My driver's side vent temp is 43F under these conditions. I am used to automotive A/C systems and was expecting cut in at...

I've done some research but am frustrated so I'd like recommendations from those of you who may have similar requirements. Requirements : >- Mowing deck no larger than 48", preferably 42" or less. >- No striping left after mowing (uncut line between blades) >- twin cylinder and at least 20...

I want to remove the two light gray plastic dashboard sections on my 2009 Series D. I don't see any clips or fasteners above or below. Maybe it's a snap fit. Can someone point me in the correct direction? Thanks, DEWFPO

Does anyone know how many amps each of the 4 glow plugs draws? DEWFPO

I've got a '09 5600D and it looks like I need to replace the battery. I've got the original HD Group Size 31 in there right now and it looks tough to remove from the top. Has anyone removed the small, plastic side panel next to the battery ? It looks like it ought to slide right out the side...

What is the preferred location for one or two, 250 watt silicone hot pad heater(s) to warm up the hydraulic fluid on a Toolcat? (I've got a 2009 "D" series). Can the plastic tank handle pad heaters? Is the engine oil pan flat enough to handle a 5.25" x 3.5" silicone pad heater? Thanks, DEWFPO

I'd really like to get the exhaust up and away from the cab better than the side exist especially when snow blowing deep cuts or working against a side wall. It would be nice if I could do it with off the shelf parts and cob something together that didn't look too bad. Has anyone done this...

My 5600 has had a very annoying high speed vibration sound coming from the locking pins for the rear tailgate. The pins are vibrating in the slots. It only occurs at certain rpms. Obviously pulling the pins and lowering the tailgate stops the noise but has any one figured out a fix for this...

I have a small (17 HP), cheap (1998 Lawn General), 5 speed manual, lawn tractor that was given to me for free because of a blown engine. I've replaced the engine but the seat is fairly uncomfortable. I have a very bumpy, hilly area that I cut and I have a bad back. What have you guys found...

I know the H.D. Battery (option M1001-R07-C02) is a group size 31 and has a P/N of 6667986. I assume if you have the HD Battery option you just get the larger Group 31 size. What is the stock sized battery in the Toolcat 5600 without the above option? Thanks, DEWFPO

I searched high and low a couple of years ago and other than filters, I've never been able to find a online discount source for parts. Has anyone found any? $250 for a simple step is utterly ridiculous. DEWFPO

As some of you know I was not happy with the performance of my SB200-72 (with the 9.6 motor package) with wet, heavy snow. The dealer swapped out that unit for a SB200-72 with the 8.0 motor package (higher speed fan but lower torque). I also paid the dealer to weld teeth onto the Horizontal...

I asked the parts guy at my dealer how much a bedliner was and he said they don't make one for the D series. He called Bobcat directly and they said the bed size changed on the D series and the bedliner for the A,B & C series doesn't fit. He recommended Rhino Liner. Easier said then done...

Can someone confirm or deny the following info please : 8.0 Hydro Motor Pkg = High speed, Low Torque Fan, 2 hydro hoses connected to Toolcat, best to run in LO FLOW rather than HI FLOW because hydro fluid can get pretty hot (even though the Toolcat automatically turns on Hi Flow when the...

Once moving it sounds like disk brake squeal. The kind of noise that is really annoying. No noise when stopped. Turned out to be the rubber CV boots on the front axle shafts rubbing. The mechanic sprayed WD40 on the edge of the large radius of all 4 front CV boots and the noise disappeared...

I have a concern and just wanted to know if it's normal or not on the TC. When I am driving between snowblowing jobs I have to frequently (every couple minutes or so) tilt the snowblower back up. It only takes about 15 minutes for the snowblower to go from full tilt up to laying on the ground...

I want to put a stick-on 150W silicone heating pad (KAT'S) to pre-heat the hydraulic fluid before use. Where is the best place to put one on the 5600T? I needs to be a metal location. Thanks, DEWFPO

The Bobcat dealer wants $450 for the 4 chains. Anyone find them somewhere else for less? The tires are 29x10.5x15 inch. Thanks, DEWFPO

As I understand it, the HP mgmt. feature on the Toolcat tries to keep engine RPM (and consequently hydraulic pump rpm) as high/or as constant as possible 'under load', so that the hydraulic pressure/flow is maintained to power the attachments adequately, at the expense of speed (mph). That...

When I ordered my 5600 I ordered it with the 'Step Kit' (7135575) and when it showed up it had only one step on the driver's side. I guess $216 doesn't buy 2 small steps anymore. That's not what I was expecting. :( DEWFPO

Can you tell the build date of the machine from the serial #. If so, does anyone know the code? Thanks, DEWFPO

I've done a Google search but am coming up empty handed. Does anyone manufacture a generator that can be attached to a ToolCat/Skidsteer and powered off the hydraulics? Thanks, DEWFPO

I only need a light duty (min. 200 lb. capacity) sand spreader for either the bed of the Toolcat or the receiver hitch. I'd like to get recommendations from those of you that use them and are happy with their operation. Thanks, DEWFPO

I was on the Toolcat website and noticed the new specs show 59HP. Did that just change? My most recent info says 56 HP. Anyone know the TQ output of this engine? Where I can get the specs on the engine? A google search only proved frustrating. All I can find is HP numbers and nothing...

I am considering making an offer on a new ToolCat 5600D and was wondering if those knowledgeable could tell me exactly what the following items are (all expensive). Thanks, DEWFPO - Power Bobtach - Floorboard Riser - Remote Rear Hydraulics Kit (what would this be used for? a spreader?)

I am considering selling my 2006 GC2300 and need retail pricing data. My neighbor is wanting to buy it and I want to have real word data to give him a price. The unit is a 2006 delivered in April 2006, it has 77.8 hours on it. Ag tires. I installed Amsoil synthetics at the 50 hour service...

I have a splined yoke on a mid-pto driveshaft that has the markings Weasler and either a 6 or 8 -19190. I need to replace this splined yoke but would like to replace it with one that is ~1 inch longer (more splined yoke for the splined shaft to slide into). Two e-mails to Weasler over the last...

Anyone know the p/n's of the temp gauge, sender for the 2400? I'd like to install one on my 2300, there's plenty of room on the dash and they have the same engine. DEWFPO

I could use a little more HP/TQ out of my 2300. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for trying to increase the power output. Thanks, DEWFPO

I'd like to ask a favor of those with the 2360 snowblower. I would like them to measure the distance between the front leading edges of the sides of the horizontal auger case at about the same height above the ground as the auger shaft itself. I abuse mine every winter and the sides of the...

Does anyone know how to adjust the brake such that it actually works when the HST is in gear. It works well as a parking brake, but to stop when in gear I can stand on the brake and it barely causes any resistance. I basically have to tap the rocker pedal into reverse to stop this thing from...

Can someone tell me what the model # is of the smallest 4WD JD tractor that you can get a heated cab? I need ~30HP or better. Turbocharged is even better if available. Thanks for the info. DEWFPO

I have a couple of questions for other 2300 owners. 1) at ~30F, how many seconds does your engine crank before it fires up? No block heater use, just glow pugs use. 2) My fuel pump normally has made a loud ticking sound when you turn the key to ON before starting since new. Today, when I...

Now that winter is here again (11F last night), the GC2300 is getting harder and harder to start again. I run the glow plugs for 10-15 seconds, turn the key to pump fuel for another 5-7 seconds, and it cranks for 4-5 seconds at a minimum, smokes white as it cranks, then it lights. Once warm...

Anyone know of a cab that is available for the 2300? I know curtis make one for the Kubota and JD sub compact tractors. Thanks, DEWFPO

If I engage the mid PTO at idle (1,250 rpm) with the MMM attachment on, the engine will stall. If I raise the rpm to 1,500 then the engine will shudder badly for a second or two, emit a cloud of black smoke but won't stall. What are others with the GC2300 finding is the sweet spot in the rpm...

I live at 7,200 ft and I can easily choke down the 22.5 hp, 3 cyl. Iseki diesel in my GC2300 when snowblowing as little as 8 inches of wet heavy snow while blowing UP my 12% grade driveway. I would like to increase the HP/TQ a little and was wondering if any has or knew of anyone who has used...
