so finally after a couple hours got it free again, after taking the U joint off the issue was in the steering wheel bushes, rather than taking the dash out I git the steering wheel nut with a piece of brass, not hard but enough to free it up, no idea what the build inside is but turns with a...

Sadly no, machine has less than 75 hours on it, looked on the weekend at the steering there is no grease points, both u joints and tie rods are sealed, there is grease nipples for suspension?

had this machine for several yeas, unlike the newer its not power steering, either its me getting old and weak but the steering feels way tighter than I seem to recall, looked at the front end and nothing appears to be serviceable, before I start getting into it any other owners feel the...

the plug on a Bobcat is not a switched 12v supply rather a digital signal that requires a hook up on the attachment to work solenoids, my suggestion is make up a switch box and run it off the 12 volt auxiliary from the bobcat, thats what I had to do with a tree spade

what switch is worth 500 dollars? more curious what it is and which one

if it goes to the solenoid check the electrical diagram but it can only be a switched 12volt circuit and a solenoid does not care if the plus and minus wires are reversed

this was shortly after cleanup and today they call for another 4 to 6 inches

this was Friday at work, snow most of the afternoon and next day after it stopped clearing on the driveway, had a good 2 foot blown in, sadly the Toolcat plow was a non starter, here is the S590 to the rescue

the flood lights are off the rocker switch on the dash, one position is the flood the other position is the driving, you could add another switch to activate both be easy to do or just move the flood wire to the same terminal as the driving side, sadly the driving lights have high and low beam...

thats a nice looking setup

with the extra height of the tires how does the bucket sit with arms fully down? can you still sit flat on the ground? what about grass cutting?

fixing hoses is never a good idea, one mentioned taking the hose to a repair shop and get it spliced, the crimp fittings are just the same as the hose ends, the shop we use will not splice because if the hose is degraded it likely is ready to leak somewhere else, just bite the gun and replace...

they are indeed a cool machine, I have both excevator and skidsteer so its uses are babied, never dug lots but moved material such as gravel and soil around the yard in the bucket funny thing never used the dump box to dump anything, just move stuff around like tools and barrels, the paint is...

problem now is snow is getting so high when plowing in places the spoils are not going over the top rather falling back behind the blade, need a extension on the blade to push it over more,

think we have had as much in these 2 storms than all last year, I enjoy clearing snow, do the couple next to us, they have a small walking blower but after a couple ibches its done. before the toolcat it was a chore doing the service road and property next to us, Toolcat changed that with a...

when we built the house I planned doing trenching for power, gas and water myself, had access to a small mini thimk it was a 1 1/2 ton, had to trench 1/4 mile and 3 days couple hundred feet went to auction and picked up a Cat 420D backhoe, 2 days later had the water, gas and electric done...

well until last week we have been blessed with unusual warm weather and no snow, today was the second snowstorm in a week, 8 inches fell today 6 inches previous, the wife finds it amusing I clear snow in shorts but the heater is top notch, after doing our yard and driveway of half mile went down...

I use a PHD on my bobcat E32, works like a dam, the best thing you can drill a couple plus holes without moving and unlike a skidsteer or tractor way more manouverable

looking at the deck on the ford verry similar mounting to the Toro, if it was me I would fabricate whats needed and make it work, not sure about rotation but Im sure the blades could be found, PTO hook up you may have to change the mounting end and length go for it you likely will pictures of...

when I turn on the spot I rotate the house 90 degrees, lift one side and rotate as I run track that contacting ground, turns on a dime and no gravel in the tracks

my 2020 has traction control, independent suspension and no switch for diff lock,

what did you do?

given the cost to repair these machines stocking up on a jug of Bobcat oil is minimal, I do not mix oils on any machines unless it says a alternative. my machine has a diagram where cylinders should be to check oil level, its also in the manual

my Bobcat E32 does this all the time worse when I have been in the gravel and rotated, try turning the bucket 90degrees and lift one side of he machine then run the tracks on that side and see if you have rocks or debris in the track, when clear does the popping stop?

this is the first time mounting the rough cut mower on my Toolcat, the guy cutting hay in my field will not cut where we have Canada thistle so have to cut it down. first off this rough cut mower is not a brand name, has the bar where the blades mount instead of the disc, the mower spins fine...

final update, the mower is working nice and does a great job, not sure if I mentioned the governor lever was not working bent and stuck when it was taken apart, fixed that prior to installing the motor.

got the motor together, no fuel pump so filled the oil, water fuel and pulled the lever out the old pump, if you have never pulled the lever out its basically a fork that pulls a diaphram down whivh as the fork returns on the cam the diaphram returns under spring pressure and sucks gas, next...

this pump has about 1/4 inch free play then impossible to press, this was the second pump replaced a couple years ago and I switched to a electric pump. I did ask re a new pump, they came back with a price of $364.00, two in stock, asked if he had the decimal wrong or why so expensing and he...

seen them dragged on skids under the wheels such as steel sheeting

picked up the parts tuesday and cleaned everything on the crank case and cover, installed the cam, new seal on the cover, waterpump gear new oil screen and darn they did not give me the oil pump seals, guess I have to wait till monday to assemble. seems they only picked one exhausr gasket, one...

will look it over, from what I can see it is not leaking

just checked Jack's the timing gear is no longer available, Id be upset if they had them for $150 at least in this case its fixable and not throw away, this time around, had this machine for a good 10 to 12 years, only other thing I have replaced was the fuel pump, it got thro 2 new OEM pumps...

hi 5030, I would have liked to find one other than Deere but on the internet any cam gears I found were either not in stock or unavailable, most all that had them would not ship to Canada and after the 35% exchange, duty and shipping were $400cdn anyway. the gaskets and waterpump gear was under...

here is my findings, camshaft gear is stripped badly, next to no teeth on the gear, waterpump gear lost 2 teeth, oil pump and governor gears are OK first look, case full of teeth, have not removed heads but the pushrods are straight and the valves are not sticking of stiff to move. all parts...

thanks Richard, since posting here is what I found, no compression in any cylinder, one is pumping in out drt the other is spitting oil, the crank is in one piece as fan turns on top and PTO turns on bittom, no movemrnt at the rockers im thinking if it was a connecting rod it would be making...

had this deere f725 many years, bulletproff I figured but started it yesterday half rmp and backing onto lawn heard a klunk in motor and died, now does not even attempt to fire, pulled plug right side clean, no compression and plug is firing, pulled left plug oily, crank over spitting oil too...

I took a 1/2 plate and using the mag drill it works as a drill press on site if needed, mine had quite a long quill it will mount a drill chuck for shorter bits there is a spacer used, one could also weld a short length of 6x6 tube to the plate to space it for a drill vice

well now its screwed up, the temporary fix on the injector line is temporary, just got a call from the Toro dealer locally the replacement line is discontinued, they have no suggestions how to get one, anyone have any suggestions, local shops are no help and Im out of ideas any and all help is...

I will give that a try for sure

fuel shutoff is working as it should, bled air out the system, it was obvious when I loosen the line on the injectors 1 and 3 made little difference but 2 was obvious the rpm dropped, still thinking its air but started pouring down, will take another look tomorrow

well installed the line on number 1 cylinder, turned the motor over to bleed the line at the injector and as much as I tried the motor refuses to fire, not even any smoke, the lift pump is running, Im thinking it shut down from no fuel so when it stops raining plan on bleeding the system...

have a milwaukee mag drill, takes 3/4 dia annular cutters but I also machined a arbor for a 3/4 drill chuck, gets used maybe a couple dozen times a year but the handiest tool, picked up some better quality cutters and c cheap set off amazon, also a couple pates 1/2 thick one 10 x 10 and one 22 x...

quick update, the brazed line is still working however last night the wife ran the mower and it died, took a look the right side of motor is covered in fuel, figured my patch job failed but closer looking its number 1 injector line this time, broke the end right off, I never knew these lines...

and indeed the tractor runs without solenoid, the solenoid only energizes to cut fuel not turn it on, its on a timer so when you turn off key it shuts off fuel and after a dwell releases

what series of machine are we looking at?

many years ago picked up a Bobcat grader, its lighter than the current models, after using it sor 10 plus years I still yet to gea a answer does one float or not when grading, it has the rotate, tilt the height is set by the tilt cylinders working together, the price Im sure is north of 15K

that sure looks like it was made for the machine, will order up a couple next week

they look neat could you put a couple pictures of the underside mounting, thanks

wish we had snow like that, couple weeks ago we had 4 inches, fun in the toolcat but not worth clearing it, did anyway

i would say yes,

if you indeed want the bucket to tilt more before I played with the linkage get a quick adaptor plate, weld it 90 degrees to the ground on the bucket then fab reinforcement at the top, this way the tilt would increase when at full lift, you would loose curl back when filling the bucket depending...

agree, looked at mine and it will tip the underside of bucket past 90 degrees to ground when full height, all I can think of either he has a seizing pin, something obstructing the mechanics or his bucked has a odd angle to the back mounting,

Iv used bucket tilt to get out of snow many times and does go past 45 closer 90, what angle is on the bucket mount, that will change how far you can tilt with only 45 degrees with arms lowered when lifted it would be difficult to dump bucket, is the cylinder doing full stroke?

have one for my Bobcat E32, works great but its dedicated to the X change setup

I will take a picture out the manual in the morning

first without getting my old service manual out do not recall how its wired, get in the machine, turn key but do not start and select 4 wheel steer and listen if there is a click from a relay, if it does select switch back, guessing there will be no click. does this machine have diff lock? will...

no idea about aftermarket fenders, is it the original switch? as for the function, are you saying when you start the machine its in 2 wheel steer but if you engage when running it will not disengage? both axles are steering when driving?

thats a series A? my series A had many issues, if its been a issue for some time my guess would be first check the switch on the console, does your machine have diff lock? diff lock will not engage if rear wheels are not centered

just looked in my service manual, mine is a 2020 5600 and the manual says raise the box and support, remove the filler neck from fender then move it out the way, then remove the fender to gain access to the battery

assume the battery is dead, can you boost the motor off the starter motor lead that goes to battery? you should be able to raise the box by moving the valve to the dump position and jacking up the box, a bungie will hold the valve or a second person

what I would do in this situation as above verify the 12v supply and use the cable ground, using a light verify output at the solinoids and thats where I would load the machine up and visit the dealer, they can easily use there machine to run the snowblower thro a few cycles and if they have a...

one thing with a voltmeter it may read the voltage bur drop when a load is attached, thats why we use the bulb, you can get a 12 volt bulb with pigtails from any auto parts shop (not LED style) I can not recall the connector, got it from Bobcat dealer but anything that will allow contact with...

its at the shop, its a connector that plugs into the harness where the solenoid goes and a 12 volt pigtail for a automotive bulb

auger is a single valve on and off where the others are 2 way valves, we made up a test light that fits the connector to the solenoids, that way we see a visual of the power going to the valve. its way easier than the volt meter

you could have a solenoid going bad or the connection at it, is it always the same function on the blower not working? you could try switching the connectors on the solenoid around and see if it still fails to work and the issue moves to another function

hose clamps work better yet muffler clamps

yes its cold, we had -38C this morning, with the wind -54C, they said on the weekend we were colder than on Mars, go figure we need a moon rover for snow clearing

turf tires made quite a difference on mine, the block heater on mine is good to -20C, I have a magnetic strobe kit installed have regular seat in the Toolcat but Suspension seat in the skidsteer 590, not sure it would do much in the Toolcat its not bouncing close to the skidsteer. hoping you...

what are you getting added for bells and whistles

on my fuel shutoff coil only 2 wires one being ground, when starting the coil is not energized, the fuel free flows, when you turn key to off there is a timer circuit that energizes the coil and shuts fuel off, after a delay the coil power is cut and solenoid opens fuel again, fortunately the...

Saskatoon Saskatchewan, we are at -37C windchill -51C, the Toolcat is plugged in but its sitting until it warms up in the -20s

thats snow, the V blade is good for a foot of snow, the toolcat will travel fast enough to throw it in the ditch, once the ditch is full it piles on the sides like your pictures then I use the skidsteer with a high dump bucket to either haul it in the field or dump it over the ditch, some years...

we are forcast to get 4 to 6 inches today, be the first time using the toolcat and switch between the V blade and blower, as it sits the blade will do the work tonight, for me its the second seat and not climbing over aa bucket or blower to get in the cab

for what it is worth, I purchased a Bobcat ex 6 years ago, at the time warranty was 1 year and 4500 to get 4 extra years of coverage, sounded good but you need to have maintenance performed as scheduled by them. I put 100 hours per year to date its got 540 hours, all maintenance I perform, the...

upgraded the lights to LED on my series A and yes the issue was the wiper hitting the lights, the difference is amazing how much better one can see with todays LED lights. where are you located?

remove the wire off the fuel solenoid, it activates to shut off fuel, after a short time it releases so remove the wire should run no problem

have on on the shop infloor heating also it runs usually at 12.5 to 14 psi, if the tank was not in place likely double those pressures from cold to hot

its not code here but I did install one several years ago, the issue was if the water heater has cooled down such as grandkids filling the paddling pools when the boiler cuts in the expansion in the tank and house plumbing was blowing seals on the water softener neck, with the expansion tank its...

not unusual, the toolcat has 2 rocker switches one left and one right, they would be assumed for the V plow left rocker would control the left arm and right switch for right arm but no it does not. hard to figure, a V plow on my S590 works the way I expected left switch for left arm and right...

my Toolcat joystick the up/down switch moves the chute the trigger runs the blower, it will run continious until I pull the trigger again now a bobcat V plow on Toolcat, I would have expected the wings to move with the left right switches indeed it does not, up/down move the right wing and...

never ran it long enough to check what lines are getting hot, have to give that a try next time I have it running

most of this machine are hard lines and yes the lift cylinder is single acting, the pressure line and return are at least 1 1/4 diameter it also runs into the transmission plus steering have to find a place to tee in a pressure gauge

I had thaught about spool wear but I can hang 3500 pounds on it, sit there for over a hour tried the lift function with motor off ans holds steady, if it had wear I figured oil would pass over the spool

so played a bit with it, tilt eithey way loads the motor hard when it reaches full travel, lift does load it but not enough to slow the motor, no leaks it will holt weight in air no issues. there are 2 cylinders for mast a larger short one that lifts forks on first stage to about 4 foot then a...

correct Harry 2 spool, the mast is 3 stage its not original, there is a cylinder at the front maybe 20 inch stroke lifts the forks to 4 feet off ground then another cylinder that lifts the remaining height around 11 foot, both cylinders are on the same hose so the larger cylinder is moving first...

hi Harry, pretty sure its full stroke, the line from pump to valve is metal so not much to tap into the valve is full and packed around it but agree it would be nice to see the pressure between both the machine is holding easily 4500 pounds I can lift the mast tight and then pull tilt and the...

hi scootr, yes all filters were replaced, like I mentioned if you move the tilt to full travel its close to stalling the motor but lift it just reaches travel or with 3500 pounds and sits there no motor loading, its a pressure thing, just not able to locate where the check valve is, manual shows...

hi all, well my Hyster forklift has been doing some work but having a issue lifting what it should, it has no issues lifting 2000 pounds but 3500 it just sits there, tilt will give lift but not the normal lift I need for loading a truck. when it stalls out it does not bog the motor any unlike...

the pounder just needs a auxilary hook up typical two hoses, it requires the aux to be active then the 3 valve setup only uses 2, one for the holding rillers the other raise and drop the weight no safeties was home built some 20 plus years ago, the valve setup is on a arn off to the side from...

here are a few pictures of the pounder I put together unfortunately its in the storage yard upside down but gives you a idea, it easily drove 5 inch posts last time used

looking for good or bad comments on what I am considering, some 25 years ago I built a post pounder for the Deere skidsteer, basically took a old Wheatheart pounder head, mounted to a quick attach mounting plate and added a tilt(side to side) cylinder, it worked great, with the door removed I...

do you have a service manual, I have one somewhere from back when I had the series A, will take a look tonight

my machine has a fuel shutoff solinoid that is normally open, when you start machine fuel will flow when you shut down the solinoid is activated for a short time to kill the motor, after that delay it releases, a bad starter switch can cause the fuel solinoid to activate when the keyswitch is...

yes just grind it out and reweld easy job cover the motor best you can from any spatter

you should be able to run power to the starter solinoid and the motor should crank, if similar to the one I have the fuel shutoff is normally open so it will run, when you turn the key off the fuel shutorr engages for a short duration to shut motor down at which time it releases.

how heavy is the steel truss you want to lift 14 foot

couple years ago picked up a Wabasto coolant heater to install, looked all around and just no room to mount it, ruffdog, if you figure where to mount one I would be interested in a few pictures how you squeezed it in years ago on my series A removed the seat and cover figured I could mount one...

hi ruffdog, yes even pulled the heater it works as designed, unlike a wet blockheater that is surrounded by coolant the dry one sits in air and relies on convection to transfer the heat to the coolant, its just not efficent at cooler temeratures

sadly my Toolcat is not the Kubota engine and last time I spoke with the dealer nothing was available they suggest keeping it indoors

it does work, checked with ammeter anf feel, the heat element id hot but around it is not, likely only 25% of the heat gets to motor picked up a wabasto heater but there is no room to install it on the Toolcat

3 hours at -25C on the Toolcat does little,, mine I plug in any time temp gets below 20 and never unplug it

the old series A Toolcat worked better that was a wet type block heater using the frost plug holes, the net series uses a dry heater so no contact with actual coolant, you can remove or exchange it without draining fluid,

indoor unheated will fair better as its out of the wind and weather, picked up a Wabasto coolant heater but just not enough room to mount it anywhere

never had a issue with heat and defrost, only time it could not keeo up was during blizard cinditions blowing snow and -35C, into the wind it would start to freeze on the wipers coming back it would melt it. when its -15 to -20cC have to turn it down bigger issue the block heater does nothing...

had a quick look and did not see any frost plug but it was snowing, will take a better look monday

the forklift takes some cranking to fire it up but runs decent, there is blowback in the crank hoping the rings are just stuck and will free up, still have rewire for lights, some better working gauges but Im happy its working. now weather is getting cooler starting outside will be a task, the...

whats your opinion, this chaincase was last opened in 2016 we replaced one sprocket and both chains, we do not recall how far we filled it up but for sure not to the front plug Im guessing more than it should have had. just cracked the front bolt and this is what comes out, my guess it water is...

getting closer to completion but have a question, the chaincase can be filled to the front plug half way up the case or close to, can I fill the case from this hole or do I need to pull the brake mounting plate off? this service manual shows the gear cases that appear to be sealed units, is the...

just a follow up re tapping the blocks, I added a lock washer to the bolts, this way they were snug but allowed movement when tapping with the punch

to date only seen one, series A it had a engine fire cab was OK it sold in auction for 6500

our old 743 gets little use but something went to heck and left drive lever was flopping around and wheels were turning, we lifted the cab to find the rear block that moves the hydrostatic had fallen off, not a big deal but after re mounting and going over the neutral setup had no success we...

this morning after charging battery fired it up, lots of grey smoke turns out the idle was way down, after adjustments it runs decent, blows dark smoke when accelerating brakes are not like a car, they do stop and hold but thinking a further bleeding is in order, easily lifted a old car but need...

new week changed oil, filter topped hydraulic level and figured at least try it, cranked puffing white/grey smoke no fire so traced the intake heater, got it going even a small fire but still no start, the battery may be weak as Im assuming the charging is working which I have not verified so...

after calling the Hyster service several times did get to talk to the tech, he insists the oil level stick is besides the oil dipstick, looked for a few hours and now I am certain the oil level stick is the hydraulic oil, all lines from pump to tank and transmission seem connected so certain its...

anyone know where the oil level or dipstick to check powershift transmission

back on the ground and seem to have brakes, finally started lots of cranking, seems oil level in motor is way overfilled so oil change tomorrow, topped the hydraulic tank, anyone know if the hydraulic oil also runs the transmission, lost a couple quarts with the burst hose on the go pedal...

here is the forklift brakes adjusted to drag on drums, park brake works fine to lock wheels, once forklift comes in yard will lower it back on ground, I fired it up to raise the mast and it died and refuses to start, I figure with only 20L of fuel in tank sitting at this angle the fuel pickup...

and it continues, new fuel and fired it up and a spray of oil underneath, removed covers and a pressure line from the go pedal is spraying oil, replaced the lin and checked hydraulic oil, topped up and it moves but weak brakes, figure its adjustment, back up on blocks but rain stopping me doing much

today bled brakes, put wheels on had to replace one tube so the valve stem faced out and set the machine back on ground, figured I would check fuel, half tank of diesel smells bad, varnishy and solvent smell, does diesel go bad? maybe last owner poured virasol in the tank by mistake, anyway...

welcome, still miss those windows in the doors, that second seat has my grandsons nam on it

with the electrical diagram I can start the tracing of the mass of wires connected to nothing Im trying to track a service manual, if I find one will forward a link

thanks for the link, those parts diagrams would have helped lots, mine is a diesel motor, the accelerator pedal has a rocker for forward/reverse, for the little we used it seems to work but no brakes hard to do much today I mounted new brake mastercylinder and throttle linkage, started putting...

hi flyerdan, I believe its a 50 or 60, the mast is a short 3 stage must have been used for containers or similar, maybe mining in the past life. the wide fenders are original, paint is peeling but the metal is galvanised, it has lifted 5500 pounds when I loaded a skidsteer on the trailer if...

quick update, picture did not show it but the 3 pads where a brake shoe sits against the backing plate 2 had worn thro on the bottom shoe, this caused the shoe to sit at a angle inside the drum, not sure how it got this bad, shoes are like new other than rust and everything is rusted badly. the...

as mentioned above bucket level and flat is a issue, we had a 743 Bobcat someone had taller filled tires on, we switched to regular and the fix they had was weld a piece of 1 1/2 thick steel on the arm stops,

good point, its missing fhe first few pages as the back, just downloaded the right service manual and parts diagrams, mine definatly was not the right manual, close but not rifgt

Xfaxman you are 100% correct its a Mitsubishi K3D engine, learn something new every day, looked at the service manual it came with and written at some tine a dozen years ago is Kubota 3 cylinder, did call around to the local shop and seems same issue with the fuel line, non stock item special...

yes called the few shops in town, they say they only do low pressure this is high pressure to injectors, one would not do it due to the bends anyway one on order be in for next year, here is the temporary fix, used it for a couple hours last night and no leaks though I know its temporary and...

correct, dealer has to order it from Toro, not a stock part has to be made, part number 42-8140 pipe assembly fuel injector #2, tonight I roughed it with emery cloth, cleaned well and brazed the tube to the collar, after installing, bleeding its running but no idea how long it will last, will...

looking for ideas, last night my Toro 322D started spraying diesel on the injector side, Kubota 3 cylinder, tried tightening the nut but it was a small crack in the line injector end just at the ferule, looked at ordering they have to be made and looking like 5 plus weeks, my first thought was...

have one of those swivel bucket and its been great, took some time to figure how to best use it and when you say that I get a funny look but there is a art to using one, only issue its a heavy unit but works great

now the right side, the backing plate has not rusted thro which is good but the cylinder is way off alignment with the shoe slot, looks like the backing plate is badly bent up, best guess like the other side at some time wire, strapping or anything that could wind its way between the backing...

left side back together, here is the backing plate the area the cylinder was mounted was rotted away, figured we were in luck as it has a part number but nothing cross referenced to any available part so we plasma cut several plates and rebuilt the cylinder area, cable was so rusted it was like...

here is a few pictures of the forklift project, Im thinking its a D50 but dealer is little help unless I have serial which has long since rotted away by the seat, if anyone can identify model that would be great

around my acerage wanted a forklift, had a small Toyota 3000 pound lift but it was a bummer in the yardso traded it for a Hyster diesel old machine thinking its a D50 will get a few pictures and hopefully someone can help identify. this thing runs not bad, 3 stage but a low mast the issue was...

here is a followup, this head is a piece of junk, no matter how I straighten it after just spinning it deforms, last set of blades curled. what I am doing is machining a hub to fit the shaft, then plan on plasma cutting a disc to mount new blades onto, at least a disc will not hammer any debris...

they sure have changed dash and switches, glad I have the older version, as for the drive issue it does not sound right to me, have you contacted dealer?

does it just have single hydraulic line coming in no electrical hook up? should the roller run when the rotor is turned on by auxilary control?

that sems a decent price

try jacking the front of the machine up then crack the lines

do you have anything you can attach, you could have dead head the spool and its stuck, not quite the same issue but if we run auxilary and not bleed wown its impossible to remove the quick connects, you could have pressure on the spool, stop motor, turn on ignition but not start motor, engage...

when you tried the aux hydraulics did you have anything connected to the couplers?

after using the bush mower or the finish mower I clean the radiator with water, sometimes its clear tohers its got a light covering, even with 50% clogged it will likely still run withing range but its not cooling as it should, also if cutting grass check the radiator for the AC on the side...

so looking at solar chargers, there are some that will mount inside the cab to the glass pannel, mount the controller and connect o battery, this way all the system is inside the cab, I realise its better on the outside but a 300watt pannel should easily keep up with whats draining the battery...

well Im going to invest in the solar idea, locate it on the cab and done, good point regarding the insurance however I figured when the robber tried to start the unit and display powered up the GPS would be on line all my machines have a shutoff on the fuel lines, I knoe they work because a...

and you need to add your address at the end

check the radiator is not full of dust and cuttings, when mowing mine gets lots od debris and needs washing out regulary

hi Gator, I have no intention to disable it nor advising such, my machine sees little use maybe a few hours a month around the acerage, what I want is the GPS powering up when the display is powered up, I leave it when not used with the house 90 degrees to track and boom with blade down. I am...

not sure the draw on a watch but they run for months on a small battery, likely run for years on a 12volt 800 amp battery. the watch recieves signal not transmit. my ampmeter sees the draw but small the meter reads in .1 amp area bitt less than a small interior light. pulled fuses its not the...

no way to put the switch by the battery its not accesible without removing the metal side cover, I cold add cables and put in a switch but figured moving the power wire to the GPS thats continually powered to the ignition switch, then it is only powered when machine is running when ignition is on

new battery last month, when charged its better than spec, issue is off site no power like at the lake, im convinced its the GPS, my Toolcat and S590, can sit for months no issue, my ammeter has too high a scale to read but definatly has a draw, anyone have a schematic maybe I can pull the fuse

my Bobcat E32 has the GPS locator, if stolen or something is not working right the dealer can locate it and relay codes, problem I am having the battery is dead if not used 6 to 8 weeks, its sending a signal 23-7-52, want to have it powered when the ignition is powered up. Dealer has no help as...

both our Mules are used for summer at the lake so parked 7 months of the year

price seems decent compared to around here for the machine with relatively low hours, why is it for sale?

years ago my 2005 series A would not engage the diff lock, it was a issue when I purchased it the previous owner had no luck with the dealer and lived with it, when the switch was activated the light iluminated but not engaged, after a few hours searching turned oit the switch has a 6 pin...

last fall parked my E32 bobcat with the bucket off ground and house rotated so I could step onto the tracks, now the snow has gone the house has rotated some 40 degrees, bucket still off the ground, the area is flat

couple years aho I made a reverse coulpue for the BobcatE32, its great for buckets you dig away from the machine, backfilling is a breeze, even digging against foundations is faster, not tried the ripper problem I see the machine has way more power pulling than pushing

several years ago I put a set of Bobcat turf tires on my Toolcat, thet perform better all around over the original tires

are you refering to the turf tires?

yes it had a cracked head when we purchased it, never seen a machine that bad, cracked head, bent tilt cylinder, relief valve was backed rigth off, heaven knows how they got to it, coupling destroyed and levers way off have to search for the plug by the water pump, thanks

as stated my son has a Bobcat 743, we are trying to jook up a cab heater, best I could see its connected to the top of the motor though when we tried that there is next to no water pumping thro it, we have tried bleeding, flushing with no sucess, anyone have a 743 that can take a few pictures...

you have the same issue I find when plowing, I have the V blade and in low speed it moves the snow but never throws it off the side, if I use high speed (rabbit) at 12 to 14 mph it throws good but easily bogs down the motor and does not maintain the speed, I tend to drive thro in low speed with...

just looked whast people are asking for used Toolcats, 2008 for +60K CDN with 2000 hours, either I have not been looking for a few years or prices on used are insane, there is a 2006 with 7000 hours at 45K, asking price is no means what it sells for but anyone else noticing?

aeisnow, its so funny how one assumed the aux port was the headphone jack, even my dealer was convinced that was the case even replaced one radio because of it, both my actual AUX plugs work how cunningly the actual AUX plug is covered by a plastic cover part of the bezel have to look at the...

ruffdog will be telling the dealer next visit, they were saying the othe plug, guess its in the manual but? will try it next snow day, looking like friday night and Saturday will be fun, 8 to 12 inches expected

sure interesting, never saw this plug both myself and the dealer tried the one on the left of the radio, guess thats headphones yes? this site is great, one learns something new every day, thanks for figuring this out

wonder if the radio is wired for headphones not aux output, if so both my machines are that way

also same issue with the identical radio in the S590 skidsteer, Im curious if anyone else has tried this AUX plug

my 2020 5600 aux plug has never worked, under warranty the radio was replaced and still not working, never worked for the dealer either I have a bluetooth speaker in the cab for music

I can confirm the rollbck force on older machines suck, I built a tree spade for my 2005 series A and it was achore to roll back, had to lower arms, roll back and then lifrt, the new machine has no issues rolling back the spade

older machines had a drive motor issue, my 2005 had them replaced under warranty prior to me purchasing it 2014, it had 4000 plus hours

here is a picture of the console, diff lock is switch #13, it only locks rear axle diff, the wheels have to be straight and front steer only, the front axle does not lock though as the front and rear are the same if you apply pressure to the fitting on the front it will lock, I added a Tee and a...

the older machines had locking diff and a switch to activate it, the machines with traction do not have a diff lock switch,

well you know, hopefully pulled in not pushed out, will it be dated as a 2024 or 2023, had a similar issue with mine and had the paperwork state the year I recieved not the date the order was input, not a big deal but I would have felt it was a year older that I expected

yes the solid axles were a rough ride even with no load, the new inderpendent is a better ride though with a fill bucket both machnes would bottom out and ride the same

a good example turbo versus non turbo, the 2005 Toolcat was used for 5 years clearing snow on my driveway with the V plow, could only go in low speed and at full rpm and go pedal would bog down so had to reduce pedal, never stalled but worked hard and such rarely enough speed to throw snow off...

the turbo is definatly a advantage going up hill, regarding the brakes they hold 100% loading on my trailer, at the cabin our road has quite a incline never touch the brakes the ease off the go pedal does the job fine

that's correct, you need 2 one per axle works the same on semi trucks rear spring brakes

we use diesel fuel, Varasol is good but ut takes oil out the cast, get some brass brushes, they sell ones for bores work great in cavities holes

if it were me I would take the valve totally apart and give it a good cleaning, you mentioned water in the system, the valve body is cast iron and spool chromed steel, it will rust together sitting in water, they need to be taken apart and cleaned

would those large screws above spool be pressure relief or restrictors to slow movement? I would take lots of pictures and take it all apart, soak in Diesel for a couple days, brass brush to remove gunk, use a brass bore brush in the valve body, thinking its totally gummed up inside

I agree more a controller issue but how does that explain the brakes not applied when the arm lever is lifted and the motor is not running? the hydraulic pressure is close to zero when the motor is shut ooff. my old 2005 had the motor shut down in the yard, it was close to impossible to drag...

I have seen where the spool floats in the valve, the spool can stick in which case it does not move with the levers or not full stroke

Im not fully understanding the braking system, the brake pedal does apply the brakes but is it reducing the hydraulic pressure to apply the brakes? the brakes are sprung on from what I understand so the brakes are applied to the wheels when the motor is off or the safety lever is lifted, the OP...

long shot but has the spool stuck or rusted in the valve? can you take the caps off and move the spool?

had both, my 2005 had locking diff, it worked but only locked when wheels were not turned, the 2020 has traction control, it is defiantly improved over the older model yes the 2005 had the rust deal, had the box sand blasted then painted, new decals, this only lasted little over 2 years, sills...

the issue is the brakes are not engaging correct? if so nothing to do with the coils

it may be possible but I believe brakes are on both front and rear axles, the valve could be stuck holding the pressure, look at the hydraulic diagram and find the valve then crack the hose, if its under pressure it is likely the issue

the brakes are engaged when all power is off, hydraulic pressure is what releases them, if this machine will roll when shutdown its not a electrical issue, my old machine needed jack bolts to release the brakes to load on a trailer, someone left the transport bolts in

quick update, received a couple keys today and after a lot of lube they work great, I never knew Bobcat used a different key for the door than the ignition, glad I ordered 2 so there is a spare when my guys lose the original great weekend to all

will it still roll with the motor shut off, stop on a incline and see

om the old 2005 one I had correct the brakes are spring pressure, thats why the brakes need to see pressure to release, there is also a bolt one can jack the brakes off to load on a trailer, the brakes ever worked for you

one direction should go higher pressure,

same if you lift the arm rest?

drive past the dealer couple times a week, there is basically nothing in the yard for ne and only a few machines in used, last time I spoke with the sales guy he said they can not make stock purchases any orders have to be for customers, figured it would be getting easier as time went by but...

R18 in all my cases I simply give them the machine info as you do with dealers they look up the part number in there system, usually I buy the seal kits not individual seals

for most of my rebuild kits I use HW partstore, had several times the Deere dealer price was 6 times what HW could supply, never had a issue with the quality or fit https://hwpartstore.com/en-ca

would have guessed bearings in this application would be sealed, if they are not does it have a grease nipple? I would use sealed and de done with it

seems the back wheels are turning, so if the fronts are slow, set switch to front steer, align wheels pull the plug switch to 4 wheel steer and drive home using the rear wheel steer alone

which wheels are turning, front or rear? I would check the selector switch on the center as pictured last post, could be the connector has come off if it does rear wheels will not move
