Yesterday I noticed a small leak on the left side hydraulic cooling line where it enters the transmission. It would appear a weld failed as the oil is seeping out a bend in the line. The tractor is one month over warranty with 220 hours.
Bobcat has a technical information bulletin (#415 dated June 11, 2011) on this left side line, calling for a replacement line that has a support bracket at the midpoint, this I assume to minimize vibration.
My question, has anyone had this line fail and if so what response did you recieve from your dealership.
Although over warranty I am of the impression they should fix this on their coin considering they have identified a design flaw that requires an updated cooling line with a support bracket.
Thanks, Fred
