Greetings again Folks,
A number of you folks have been kind enough to help me out with drive chain questions on a recently aquired Bobcat 642. The info has been great and I have been doing some
repairs to other parts of the machine. Today I brought the 642 in the shop, propped the boom, raised the cab and found 100 years of leaves, branches,
oil, grease and the bones of a Tyronasourus Rex lodged under the cab. I prodded around hopping to find and opening through which I could push, break up and use my air hose to blow away the debris. That did not go well either. I tried to crawl under it to see if there were any openings, but I don't fit under it very well. Now, I know you guys don't let this trash build up to be six inches think like I have but I am left with the question of how the heck do I get this piece steam cleaned without getting my self steam blasted also. I have power washed and steamed a machine or two over the years but have learned that if there is no ware for the steam and waster to escape it comes back at me, or worse floods parts of the machine what were never designed to be under water. Your ideas would be very much appreciated.
Have fun,
