    Interchangeable wheel/track for skid steers - real need?

    I thought that video was kinda cool. If that could be packed into the size of a skid steer, someone would buy it, I'll bet. Bobcat did the R+D and started production on their RC capable for a seemingly small market, gotta wonder about that. When I saw the video, I wasn't thinking...

    BobCat ACS error

    Good Morning- Just woke up and saw the message- That's great! I was just going to schematics to double-check, because I thought you meant you had 5V at all supply points. Outputs will be somewhere in the middle of 5V When the handle is in neutral.....but you know that!......=). They...

    BobCat ACS error

    droucom- I have worked for a Bobcat Dealer for many years. Yo trabahando muchos anjos......never mind.......=). Your English is GREAT! Your tests are exactly right, and I agree with your diagnosis! 5v out, 5v all around, 5v back in, and the controller thinks it's not 5v....it has lost...

    New Bobcat Models?

    LOL I have a hard time reading posts without punctuation, too. Surely, this is not the only person who does so. To answer your question, it never has. But, with the increase in these types of venues and this type of communication, changes are sure to take place. Linguists believe that...

    Hydraulic Help

    No heated power washer? Hot water always worked for me. dunno-If I only had cold water available, I might go to Wally-World and get a couple of gallons of that concentrated citrus stuff and a pump-up sprayer. If I needed hot water and didn't have it, I'd look around for one of those...

    Bobcat m-970?

    If you want a 2500 or 3000 lb machine, go with something newer, IMO. That machine will eat you alive in repair and maintenance bills and headaches.

    Bobcat T190

    I would lift the arms and raise the cab, then check the wire harness. The solenoid is right in the middle of the control valve on the right side of the machine under the cab. Check your harness, especially at points where it mounts with zip-ties. Track vibration causes rub-spots and...

    Bobcat SJC Warranty!!

    Man that sucks, and I feel for you, and you're certainly not alone. If you can post your error codes, do so. Press an hold the light switch button, and they will display in the hour window. If there are more than one, it will scroll through them all. It would also help to know what your...

    1845c with fuse appetite

    You may have already found it yourself:D Switch contacts falling apart inside, all kind of weird things happen. If a live contact in the switch shorts to ground--boom! Blown fuse. Check your switch by removing it and checking for even momentary continuity between any of the contacts and...

    bobcat s300 ac blowing 33F but not getting cab very cold

    Did YOU measure 33 degrees or is that what the dealer told you? Did the dealer service it on a 60 degree day? If you're measuring 33 with OAT of 80 I'm scratching my head. I've had problems with Dealer-serviced Bobcat A/C. Mostly, the customer just had it in and it's not working. Bad hose...

    Horn

    I guess no one knows, so I'll offer an opinion, assuming that your'e looking to add a horn to your machine and BTW, the schematics for options are often on a separate page. Case may offer a horn kit, I dunno. I'm further assuming you're going to use a pushbutton switch on your drive lever...

    773G Delayed Start

    1. Check your battery voltage while running, should be about 14.5V or so. 2. Check all your ground wires, in clusters by the battery, and a strap under the cab. 3. If you have an attachment control cable, try unplugging it by the battery and see what happens. A damaged cable makes...

    Bobcat 610 charging problem

    You've got something hooked up wrong, somewhere, on your new harness install, or your alternator is bad. I'd get a schematic and double-check all the connections.

    Wheel camber on Cat 242

    I can see it, looking across at the straight up-and-down line of the side of the bucket. Dosen't seem right to me.... Seems to me like it all should be straight. I've seen maybe two Bobcats like that-they got dropped and bent the axle tubes where they meet the chaincase. Does the cat...

    Oil cooled cab heater

    On a Deutz, there are ports specifically designed for the hoses that run to your core. They have springs and poppets inside for checking back-flow and pressure regulation. You can't get away with non-oil-resistant heater hose. I believe heater core construction is different also, as there...

    Oil cooled cab heater

    Is this a Deutz engine by any chance, and what type of machine are you installing it in? I only know a little about Deutz engines and heaters.

    bobcat 863 warning indicator lights

    This is common when the weather turns cold. The cold hydraulic oil is thick and by-passes the filter on start-up. As it warms and thins, the the by-pass will close at idle, but if you increase rpm, and therefore charge flow and pressure, the light will come on again. After the machine...
