    03 S150 Hydraulic Issue? Stalling?

    Most of the time, running problems are plugged fuel filters or crappy fuels. Overall kubotas are very reliable. As for your case drain filters, there are two, one for each drive motor. Take the side plates between the wheels off. The left one is mounted to the bottom of the tank, easy to get at...

    gehl 5640

    Depending how new it is, newer emissions engines will surge or at least sound like it. That the government, that is how it is. As for the whine, unless there are other issues, probably normal.

    bobcat 763 starting issue

    There is also a timer modual that could be the problem. Your problem is with the pull in circuit. I would still lean towards the solenoid first, but it is hard say without looking at.

    03 S150 Hydraulic Issue? Stalling?

    I would start by draining the fuel filter. Catch the fuel in a clean pan and look at the fuel. I'm thinking you have water in the fuel. As for your hydraulic problem, little hard to say based on the info.

    Driving tracked C238 backwards for long periods of time

    I don't see a problem. Hydros and drive motors are designed to run either way no problem. Depending the under carriage may wear weird a bit running backwards, but I wouldn't think anything real not noticeable.

    Anyone having problems with S300?

    Flip the cab and look at the hoses, how many are rubbing. In general hoses don't just blow, they rub threw. Only common hose failure on 300 are lift cylinder hoses, normally rub on the frame.

    Wacker Neuson Skid Steer

    From my experience the JCB skidsteers are junk. A paper mill I deal with bought a 260 I believe to replace a 5 year old bobcat S175 because the bobcat broke too much. The mill snapped an axle on the JCB one hour after delivery. It had two boom arms in under six months. The pin for the base end...

    what brand of track steer should I by?

    Figure out who are good dealers to work with in your area first. Go demo and rent machine from each. Buy the one you like. 10 guys on here csnd tell you cat is great and you might buy one and hate it. I like bobcat, but that is just me.

    bobcat 763 starting issue

    Sounds like the solenoid is weak. Could be a problem with the pull in circuit, but I would try a solenoid if it was me. When it is on can you push it off?

    Bobcat S250 won't move

    It could be the dash, wiring or the controller. Can't rule any out without proper diagnosis.

    Wacker Neuson Skid Steer

    Wacker makes mini ex's and small articulated loaders, gehls rebadges Wacker equipment. From the angle it does not look like a straight rebadge to me. If they can build a full line of mini ex, they should be able to build a track machine.

    2004 T300 slow to raise bucket

    Problem could be the valve is not stroking fully. Also as a dealer tech, I take offence to the term stealer.

    Is it safe to leave my Cat 246c at the jobsite?

    I would check with cat if they have any disable kits. Bobcat offers a keyless ignition that can be programmed to only start with a code. No code, no start. That said depending, machines can be dragged on roll backs. Nothing is full proof, locks only keep honest people out.

    Bobcat 7753 hydro motor question

    The hydro controls direction. The motor is going to spin which ever way pressure is sent.

    2004 T300 slow to raise bucket

    What kinda controls do you have? If standard foot controls, more then likely linkage problem. If ACS or SJC I would think it would be setting codes. Any settling problems?

    Snow blower attachment

    Find out what the operating gpm range of the snowblower is. As long as your 22 GPM falls in its range you are good. The closer to the high you are, the better it will work. Now if say the snowblower has a max GPM of 18 or so, you would not want run it as the excessive flow will damage the blower...

    bobcat 743 water pump pulley

    I've had a couple break on new skids with Kubota V3300. No go reason why. I've replaced them with no further problems. That pulley should be easy to fine.

    S150 power loss

    If the pick up tube was plugged, you probably blew the pick up tube off. When it runs bad, does the primer collapse? This would indicate a restriction. I would try running on a fresh fuel out of can and see if it runs better. I'm wondering if you picked up some bad fuel.

    2001 873 Bobcat starting trouble out of the blue!

    Have you check fuses and swapped relays? The only thing electrical that will prevent starting is the fuel shut off solenoid. When you replaced it, did the connector smell burnt? Normally if bad, it will be burnt. If you pull the solenoid out, the engine will start if that is the problem. There...
