    t190 hard steer levers

    I would love to have a t190 at home! Don't feel bad about the tech not knowing, I called Bobcat Techline during this and they all had no clue either. Had to figure it out on my own.. Could be, drive motors are around 3k so I wouldn't be changing it if it is not a continuous problem. I would get...

    t190 hard steer levers

    Thread zombie lol. Yes they were in the drive motors. The new units had shuttle valves stuck, and the t190 was just abused. When things warmed up the pressure was leaving the working side and getting in behind the brake causing the brakes to drag and make the levers stiff.

    Komatsu sk820-5 problem

    Often when fluid is bypassing in a cylinder it gets hot. Not to be confused with regular hydraulic oil temp. Run them and compare temperatures between two cylinders if one is bypassing inside it should heat up fairly quickly. Perhaps your spool is not shifting all the way? or something went...

    Pulling engine on a 763 Bobcat

    Yes Bobcat fuel tanks are made of a odd mix of plastic and rock magnet, also the rest of the bobcat is made with hydraulic leaking and mud magnets. lol

    Bobcat S175 won't start

    Key on check for power at the plug. Forgetting the colours at the moment, but ground, pull and hold. Check that you have 12v and ground with the key on. If you do than your coil is burnt out, it happens.

    Pulling engine on a 763 Bobcat

    Unless you are doing a head it is fastest to pull the pumps and motor as one. Drain fluids. 4 mounts, engine harness, battery, muffler, hoses and w/e else gets in the way. Takes 6-8 hours to pull depending on what access plates and options the unit has.

    modern safty

    I quite enjoy the new safety lockouts and what not. Today I was working on a bobcat 974 which is much older than me haha and just finished putting a new head on it. Got it running and wanted to give it a bath than let it get up to temp. So I parked it in the wash bay, got out and left it at...

    Transferring Ownership When Purchasing a Skid Steer

    Not sure about ownership, but you can usually take the serial number to a dealer and they will look up to see if it is stolen.

    753 blue/white smoke

    Sounds like a bad injector.. To find the serial number clean off the front of the machine well. Put boom in air and put cyl guard in place. Than look along the black portion of the front of the machine and you will find the 9 digit serial number. and if you want your bobcat dealer can lookup to...

    case drain pressure

    On a bobcat case drain pressure is only 30-50 psi. Pull your case drain filter and make sure it isn't plugged (or just replace it). Maybe put a gauge inline and see what pressure you do have.

    863 bobcat problem

    There is a bolt on a slider just over the tensioner pulley for the belt (9/16 socket iirc) loosen that, than use a large prybar to set the tension. There should be a little arrow behind the pulley that turns as you move the pulley. I think it should be in the 3'o'clock position.

    white oil

    It is quite a pain when its the hydraulic system!! Sometimes I save my "unknown" oil mixes in empty water bottles, after a few week some will separate and become obvious.

    t190 hard steer levers

    Still not resolved but found some interesting things.. Used a portapower to pump the brakes up to 350psi (charge pressure) and drove it, felt fine. So as I worked it to get it hot and noticed the pressure drop to 310psi, still drove fine. Continued to work it and the pressure started to climb...

    Bobcat 863 traction control

    Relays are fairly cheap, but best way is to swap it to a know good one. Then if you have troubles on that other circuit you know it was a bad relay. Do you get any codes? The controller may be cutting power because the coil is drawing too much current.

    t190 hard steer levers

    It is done by linkage, one from each lever to each hydrostatic motor.

    Bobcat T190 Front Auxillary BLock

    Do you need the whole block? Or is it just one of the quick couplers is seized? If it is just one couple you can replace it, 1 1/4" wrench iirc. Sometimes you can free them up, lubing them and trying to work its mate into it. A few times I removed the seized female coupler and took the male...

    t190 hard steer levers

    So have an interesting t190 1300hr, of the newest sn break a3l... Also had a newer t140 do this with 600hrs but customer needed unit back so could not continue to diagnose it. After getting it really hot and abusing it for an hour plus the steering levers get really hard to move. But if you...

    Added new Bobcat to the fleet.

    The new m series have many improvement on their predecessors. Like changing the battery lol, actuators are really easy and tonnes of room under the cab. Although it takes 4 hours to put a radio kit in.. The big ass takes some getting used too. We have a handicapped customer with no use of his...
