    2004 bobcat 553

    Check the level of hydraulic oil, if it has a leak or something the arms up could make the pump run out of oil so nothing works, or work sluggish. The v belt of would make it overheat. I don't think there are any safety functions that would fail if the voltage got to low

    Drive chain for bobcat 553

    Hi Anyone know what type of chain I need for my Bobcat 553? I broke the chain for my left rear wheel, but I live in Norway so no shops here with chains for bobcat skid steer. I've tried searching but can't find anything on my model, but I guess if I got the size of the chain it's a bit easier...

    Bobcat 553 drive motor problems

    Hi My bobcat 553 had sized bearings in the drive motor and it stopped working. Now I've changed the bearings but the drive motor is really weak. It can turn the wheels if they are up in the air but on the ground it didn't have enough power to drive them. The other thing is i can turn the wheels...

    U17 bushing and pin at coupler

    Mine are not original, and they brake when using the hydraulic breaker, but I think for my little kubota the hammer is a bit big so it might be the reason... But if it's an known error than I don't know.

    Tilt bucket on U17 Kubota

    I've installed an 2 way aux hydraulic on my little Kubota u10 to run an tilt bucket. And you work a lot quicker with an tiltbucket instead of tilting the machine in the blade to grade. On the U10 the lines are ready in the bom, but that is with an one way hydraulic for an hydraulic breaker, so...
