    873 Bobcat overheating

    Check the radiator, water pump and hoses for leaks. If not, test the thermostat (take it out and put it in boiling water to see if it opens). A simple problem with the radiator cap can also cause a cooling system to boil coolant and be therefore ineffective.

    That is only if youre getting a weak forward and strong reverse and vice versa. If you are getting power on one side (left or right) and not theother then it could be the tandem pump rotating group is leaking.

    What's the cost of fuel where you guys are at? I had a technician come here to Trinidad and said that the prices here are ridiculous. We buy diesel at US$0.90c per US gallon and gasoline at US$2.20c. Too much or too little?:beatsme

    Case 90XT left drive is reversed

    Change around the hoses feeding the left side drive motor that is on the big pump. They'd be the two big hoses on the opposite side on the machine to the pump thats givin probs. The other option is to switch the big hoses on the left side motor itself but that would be more time consuming.
