    Anyone know where to find these?

    So I found a company that manufactures them..... ha-king.com They said they were the original manufacturers of them and can make some for me, it takes about 8 weeks.... It'll be ready for next construction season. Thanks for all the suggestions.... it's tough living in the middle of nowhere.

    Anyone know where to find these?

    Thanks for the suggestions. McMasters didn't show any as big as needed, but maybe close enough.... I'll have my buddy call Mason-ind, looks like they are more geared towards buildings than equipment but worth asking them... The closest dealer of any new construction equipment is about 150...

    Anyone know where to find these?

    I saw those but they are rated for compression, the compactor has them horizontally and I don't think the smaller ones will take the side to side action. Thanks

    Anyone know where to find these?

    My buddy recently bought a Gehl 690 Maintainer, built in the early 90's. It has a plate compactor attached to the back, and the rubber isolators are failing. The isolators measure about 2 1/8 inches thick and diameter tapers from about 4 inches to 4 1/2 inches. They have a stud on one end and...

    Where is my hydraulic fluid?

    Just start disconnecting the large hoses that go to the drive motors, at the pump end, and you'll get some more fluid out. The drive motors have the fittings on top, so unless you remove the motor mainframe and tip it upside down, the oil will stay in it. If you are still concerned about the...

    bobcat t190 needs heat to start

    Block heater is an option not standard equipment, easy enough to install one though. I believe on that machine you replace one of the freeze plugs in the head with the heater.

    Hoses in tight places

Be sure to note which hose connects to which tubeline in the engine area for proper reassembly, replace both hoses while you are in there, and make sure the allen plug is...

    Raise the cab, it is just behind the kick panel. Gold in color with 3 wires, mounts with 2 1/4" bolts to the top of the chaincase. Removing the 2 3/8" bolts there will let you check the plunger part of the traction lock.

    Bobcat 753 Fuse blowing problem

    The 2003 should be a G series, 1 controller for the whole machine. If the solenoid is not connected, the controller will give an error code and not send power to the solenoid. You may be able to search this forum for the specs on the solenoid, or refer to a service manual. The traction lock...
