    Strange issue with clutch in Chevy C6500

    Finally got it figured out today. Pulled the bellhousing and the rest of the clutch after crawling around in the gravel getting the engine jacked up and supported. Don't want this piece of crap in our little shop where I can't move it 'til I get all the parts. Had a real close look at...

    Strange issue with clutch in Chevy C6500

    Front of the trans looks fine, but I was initially wondering if that could be the cause - this trans has a tube that surrounds the input shaft that bolts over the outer face of the trans over the input shaft bearing - but it looks fine and there is nothing that the release bearing could snag on...

    Help with Terramite "sticking" in forward or reverse

    I recently took on a Terramite T5C backhoe plus some cash in trade for my Bobcat. I like the Terramite, its a tough little machine, dug out a stump with it a few days ago in no time. Anyway, the machine will "stick" in forward or reverse even when the pedal returns to the neutral position...

    Getting my Bobcat 753 running again, several questions and issues

    If it helps at all, I just tried something and thought I would post it. I still don't have all the solenoids hooked up correctly, this may or may not be the problem. I do not have the solenoid on top of the chaincase (see pic) connected at all...

    Getting my Bobcat 753 running again, several questions and issues

    Thanks for the help. Does anyone out there have a 753 (mine is a 2000) that they'd be willing to pop the cab on and take a look/picture what plugs into where? I've looked all over this machine and checked through the diagrams in the service manual multiple times and it isn't of much help...

    Getting my Bobcat 753 running again, several questions and issues

    Hey ya'll, I'm having a couple issues with my Bobcat that hopefully someone can help me out with. To make a long story short its been sitting for about half a year because I had the control valve out. Finally paid to dealer to finish the rebuild and reinstalled it myself yesterday. I put in...

    Need help with control valve rebuild on my Bobcat

    Thanks for the helpful advice everyone. I started with the BICS valve since its smaller and let it soak in a tub of mineral spirits overnight. Then I cleaned off as much of the dirty grime as i could with a toothbrush in a laundry sink in my garage. Then I hosed everything out and *think* I...

    Thank you. Let me see if this works. Well, guess it didn't :(. Maybe I can't link an image from a different site and instead it has to be uploaded as an attachment here?

    Need help with control valve rebuild on my Bobcat

    $109.05 for the seal kit for the control valve, a lot time and frustration and several layers of skin off my knuckles. I figured I might as well rebuild the BICS valve while its off as well. The problem is there isn't a kit available for the BICS valve, so everything will have to be ordered...

    Need help with control valve rebuild on my Bobcat

    Yeah, it was leaking pretty bad. I checked the fluid one day before I started it up and noticed it was barely touching the bottom of the dipstick. First thought was that it was a motor seal and it had drained into the chaincase. I removed the chaincase plug expecting to see all the missing...

    Need help with control valve rebuild on my Bobcat

    Hey ya'll, I made three posts so now I can finally start a thread and hopefully get some help. I have a 2000 Bobcat 753, and I'm currently rebuilding the control valve on it. I bought a service manual and followed the procedures in it and removed the entire control valve/BICS valve assembly...
