Curious how many hours people have and what kind of problems they have seen. I have 3100 hrs. Had both drive motors replaced and a solenoid on valve bank go out as far as major issues.
How many hours on your Toolcat

Wow - that's a lot of hours. I'm embarrassed to say mine only has 730 hours on it and it's an "A" model. No major issues to speak of; however, I suspect the drive motors are going out.
My FIL has an "A" model with 1200 hours and has had both drive motors replaced. He is also plagued with a leaky A/C system that has not been identified despite a lot of troubleshooting.

When did they start making the G series?
What are the first 4 letters of your serial number?

Xfaxman, my typo mistake. I have a 2103 "F series" that starts with A94Y!
Good catch

I was surprised I had that many hours on it. Usually just leave the tach display on, but cycled through it the other day and saw the hours. Purchased my late "A" 5.5 yrs ago and I think it had around 2300-2400 hrs at that time.

Not many hours compared to yours, about 270 hours when we traded it in to get the Traction Control that is on the new G Series.
No major issues on the F Series, one problem was the AC condenser fan quit running, replaced the relay under the seat.
It worked a few months and failed with the same relay pin burned. Ordered the next higher amperage rated socket and relay. Problem solved.
Modified the mounting hardware, it was hard to get the nut on the bolt from the bottom, before.
Now the bolt is secured to the bracket and another nut put on top.
