    Serial Number on 855 Cummins

    I'm trying to find my engine serial. Cummins 855 big cam in an 81 International 2574. The data tag on the side of the timing cover is missing. Everyone keeps saying it will be stamped in the block on the driver's side near the 3rd head. Well I can't find it. I pulled off the dog house...

    correct torque for lug nuts?

    What is the correct torque spec for lug nuts on an S250? I'd imagine same for most other models as well. I am finding everything from 120 ft lbs to 320 ft lbs! Noticed something in the snow today and it was a lug nut with part of a stud.... From the Bobcat. Right rear wheel had several...

    chain case oil

    I don't really understand the layout of the chain case. S250, though I'd imagine the S machines are all similar The service manual I have is complete **** and just tells how to check and fill the oil, that's it. When I bought the machine the chain case was close to empty. I know its in...

    Rotator?

    I was just surfing You Tube and came across this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6CzS0w-iOI The woods are pretty much just like that for us right now, logging has been difficult at best! Anyhow the red and white machine, looks like maybe a Takeuchi 135 or 138?, has a rotator on the...

    Bobcat S250 won't move

    2004ish Bobcat S250. Green press to operate button is not working. Once in a while it was fussy and moving the foot pedals or travel arms a bit would work. Now nothing. All the lights come on when the key is turned, engine runs, just won't unlock. Ideas?

    Hydrovac brakes

    I have an 82 C70 Chevy 10 wheeler dumptruck. I did some brake work on the rear axle, driver's side. Rebuilt a wheel cylinder and put in a new hard line. Bled that brake using a Mity Vac until there was no air, pulled about 2 cups of brake fluid through it after no air just to make sure...

    Engine Swap in a Chevy C70

    I have an 83 Chevy C70 10 wheeler that we haul wood with. It has a 427 and 5/4 transmission setup. The 427 does ok, but the fuel mileage is horrible (3.5-4mpg loaded, 5-6 empty) and it needs more power. Loaded down the truck sits at about 45,000lbs. Some of the grades I pull I'm at 15-20mph...

    Bobcat S250 issue

    Hi guys. I have a 2003 Bobcat S250 with a log grapple on it. We use it for loading logs onto a firewood processor. The problem we are having is the grapple will start to act weird. Either it will go full open or closed on it's own, or won't do what is commanded. It's controlled by a...
