    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    I wish there wasn't a good reason to pull the tracks at this point...besides to replace them from using the machine so much.

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    Thanks crewchief. The machine is jacked up a bit too high and I am fighting the weight of the tracks. I will lower it down a bit. The sprockets don't look rusted at all, and as soon as I bought the machine I coated all nuts,bolts on the tracks with fluid film...i think with an impact the nuts...

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    Also, I can't run the tracks forward to put pipes in to allow the track to slide over idler, as I have seen in some how-to's. Charge pressure won't go above 30 psi at this point. Nowhere near enough to release brake. Can I remove rear sprocket to get a little more slack?

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    Any good tips on removing tracks from a non running machine? Tensioners are already loose and grease is out. Book says to just use pry bars, but I'm questioning if they ever actually did it with just pry bars. Machine is in a bad spot where I can't get any sort of comealong hooked to the front...

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    Removed about a half ounce of fine metal from oil tank today with a magnet. Some flakes of brass were in it. Have a cherry picker and a rebuilder for then main pump. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can get by with just replacing main pump. Ordered a plug/cap kit online so I can block off the...

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    It's a bummer that I got hosed on this thing. If it's just the pump, I will still be "ok"...anything more than that and I'm hosed. At least I get to learn how to work on skidsteers...have worked on every thing else I own. May as well learn this thing too.

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    While I try to stay optimistic, I have already located a cherry picker to pull the motor, and a couple places to rebuild the pump near st.louis. I just like to rule out other possibilities first. At this point I will just be happy if the damage is isolated to the main pump and not the drive...

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    Last night I decided to swap the pressure sender back out. I noticed that no fluid came out of the open fitting this time. The first time I swapped it out, fluid came out at a steady rate. The sender is located just outside of the control block on mine. What I'm wondering now is if maybe...

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    Thank you. If it is worth noting, the day I got it home I was able to drive it around for about 10 minutes at higher RPM before it would shut down. To me it almost seem like something, somewhere is blocked and restricting flow. However I know I am still being optimistic.

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    If I was wanting to a good assortment of caps/plugs for working on this machine...what would you guys say would be good sizes to get?

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    That was the case drain filter. I found about half of the missing piece. The sludge around the base is the junk that was in it. I spread it out after the picture and it was all fine silver metal shavings. I'm pretty sure no major work has been done to this machine. This is a weekend project...

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    Will do. I will try to find some plugs/caps this week if he is able to confirm it. I have already noticed I need some anyways..have had to replace a decent amount of fluid just trying random things.

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    Also, I'm assuming the motor has to come out to remove the main pump? I have been working on getting Bobcat out here..but its going to cost a pretty penny just to have them look at it. At this point I may just bite the bullet and let them diagnose what all is actually wrong.

    Bobcat T-250 Low Charge Pressure Issue

    I kept all of the metal, and it is all silver...not brass. I was told to look for any brass chunks. The only brass looking debris has been the pieces of the case drain filter. Thank you for your input. I will have to see where I can find some caps locally. How would I go about finding out...
