    Bobcat T770 Hydraulic double flush

    that's what i did and she is in the clear. we have since added 100 hours to the machine with no fault codes nor any signs of shavings in the fluid. she is also performing better when it comes to hydraulic power!

    Bobcat T770 Hydraulic double flush

    well... the double flush went like this, drained fluid and then refilled ran for 30 seconds. then drained fluid changed filters(hydro-static,hydraulic) 2 different filters btw. and then refilled with fluid and ran for another 30 seconds or until the heat level raised to the oil viscosity ambient...

    looking to make auger but cant find the right motor

    so to begin with i am looking for a motor to build a auger, i have a bobcat t770 which operates at 23 gpm on low flow and 36.6 gpm on high flow operating with a max of 3500psi . ive looked at the augers on bobcat and they are pretty pricey. the ones that work with my machine are the 15c and up...

    Cat SkidSteer 246 Oil pressure warning

    lol i didnt notice that ha ha i feel pretty stupid now. Id also like to blame the owner as they have said the same to me repeatedly too lol. anyways what do you think about the pressure on the engine? is that well within safe operating range? do you think that it is just because the oil hasn't...

    Cat SkidSteer 246 Oil pressure warning

    so oil filter replaced and oil replaced. starting pressure was normal upon initial startup at cold @45psi and at full throttle reaching @55 psi. that was running cold. so i ran it for 30 minutes and that was 2x5 minute intervals of full throttle then back to idle. the end result was 38-39 psi on...

    Cat SkidSteer 246 Oil pressure warning

    Oh I called cat over here and they said the same thing. These damned Perkins engines are an enigma lol. They said that is the only thing they see on them too. That the oil pressure should be a minimum of 41 psi.

    Cat SkidSteer 246 Oil pressure warning

    Yeah I just got done draining the damn engine it took about 5 hours to drain thanks to the massive ballast/counter weight installed on the back. But i at least know that the sensor is bad on this machine. The engine oil pressure sensor part number is 7w1238 . But yeah about to take off the old...

    Cat SkidSteer 246 Oil pressure warning

    fired it up and it goes to around 40-50 on running idle then around 65-70 on full throttle then back down to around40- 50 on idle and the last pic of it near 0 oh and best way to get to that tester end is taking the air filter enclosure off of the frame and moving it to above the engine so you...

    Cat SkidSteer 246 Oil pressure warning

    hey @Nige is there any way you can give me the oil pressure chart for this machine. idk it may just be me but ive been looking for the last two hours trying to find what the normal oil psi should look like so i could get an idea of what it should look like when running/idle or even running max...

    Cat SkidSteer 246 Oil pressure warning

    Cat SkidSteer 246 Oil pressure warning

    so where would be a good location on the motor to test the oil pressure? i contacted cat to ask them the same question and they said i could use the oil sample valve just unscrew the bottom hookup. what are your thoughts?
