    '06 Bobcat A300 Chaincase

    I struggle to stay off the soap box myself. When you think about it, having integrity is really only hard when you might be trying to avoid being responsible for your actions. It's just a choice. I forgot to mention one other thing. After the Bobcat guys put my machine back to together, I had to...

    '06 Bobcat A300 Chaincase

    I saw something on YouTube (HowIDidIt is the channel-has great information on Bobcat repairs) that reminded me of this thread. After re-reading my thread today, I felt as like I should share some more info. When my neighbor machined the bosses on the sprockets he had to make a shoulder instead...

    Bomag BW177 DH-40 Stuck in Park?

    It's been a while on this one. I just saw the above reply but I hadn't seen ten previous ones. I want to apologize to Vetech63 and mg2361 for the lack of response when you offered your help. It turned out to be the micro switch on the dash (the red "panic" button). We were able to get he...

    Flat face quick connect won't release

    That's great! Where did you source them from?

    Flat face quick connect won't release

    I'm not sure if a seal kit will help with the stuck couplers. In my experience this is usually a result of the pressure not being released, there is debris between the coupler body and the collar of the female side, or the vibration has caused the balls to wear divots into the coupler body and...

    Mobile crusher

    The BF70 you are talking about is a newer version than the one I used to have. I got rid of my BF 70 and now have an 80. The BF80 has a slightly larger feed side opening but it seems to make a noticeable difference in what input size it accepts with out stalling, and output as well. I don't...

    Mobile crusher

    You haven't said what they might be worried about, but some rock will create too much fines when crushed. The smaller you go, the worse this condition can get. If your just spreading around the site my guess is they are concerned about silicates in the dust. Concrete will make lots of fines when...

    Mobile crusher

    Does this include jaw die wear? How worn are the jaw dies? Which size bucket is it? If it's an MB crusher it will be a BF"___"(insert number here). What is your carrier (make, model, and year)? Do you have a case drain on your carrier? MBs require one. What type of connectors do you have on your...

    Mobile crusher

    I have a bucket crusher (I use it on either of my 20+ ton excavators) and it is a simple jaw. No matter what crusher you employ the feed size will certainly have an impact on output production. If shooting for 2"- output I'd say you will be lucky to get 10 YPH with a bucket crusher. Even on a...

    Travel issues with TK TB257FR.

    Thanks for the update. I'd love to hear (and I'm sure that you will share) an update during, and post, repair. Maybe Global will turn out to be a real gem! I hope that this is the LAST warranty issue that you have with this machine, and that this repair experience goes well for you. Even if...

    30" digging bucket question

    Sounds like you guys are digging graves! The 304 is a fair bit heavier (maybe 10-10.5k?) and the TB 135 is more of a conventional than a Deere 35d. I have a CAT 305.5 and a Bobcat 435. They are compact radius and zero tails respectively. This makes a difference when extending weight out from...

    Travel issues with TK TB257FR.

    Well, it looks like a real dilemma for you Mr. K. Again, I empathize with your situation here. I have heard you (as well as many others on this site, including myself) espouse how important good support is when considering equipment purchase. The fact that all machines can break, even new ones...

    Travel issues with TK TB257FR.

    Interesting idea Uffex. I'm sure there could be some substantial savings if warranty were to be removed from purchase. I would think that some MFRs would "self insure" this but others would be buying this from an insurance company. I'd like to be a fly on the wall at the underwriters' office to...

    BOBCAT 435 ZHS Wiring Issue

    ZHS stands for Zero House Swing. To my knowledge, all 435s are ZHS. Model number and S/N (as taken from the ID plate on the machine) are listed above. I'm not sure if same equipment is sold in UK and USA, or if they are equipped different for over seas. Hopefully they are the same. Any...

    Travel issues with TK TB257FR.

    I'm sorry that UR doesn't seem like a good source for repair. I think that I know the feeling that you got when you thought about them working on your TB. I hate hearing this. It doesn't give me much confidence with the brand. Even more frustrating is when only ONE MFR makes what you want....and...

    BOBCAT 435 ZHS Wiring Issue

    It appears that our trouble is with the wires that enable the individual hydraulic circuits once the arm rest/safety bar is lowered in the cab. I would have thought that this would be a single circuit activation (bar goes down= hydraulics work, i.e. a single solenoid that allows all hydraulics...

    Travel issues with TK TB257FR.

    Did you ever get any resolution on this? This whole thing simply wreaks! Having to pay $1k per day to get warranty work done is simply NOT acceptable. Takeuchi should allow you to get the thing repaired in your area if you can find a qualified technician to do the work. Pioneer (your local...

    BOBCAT 435 ZHS Wiring Issue

    I have an '06 Bobcat 435 ZHS with about 6,500 hrs on it now. I don't have the S/N handy at the moment. Yesterday the machine suddenly stopped traveling. It currently displays trouble code 66-06. According to my son, it is a wire that controls a hydraulic solenoid that needs to open to allow...
