Has anyone purchased filter kits (oil, fuel, air) from Crossfilters.com? They offer kits for tractors, skid steers and excavators.I'm considering ordering a kit for my Bobcat CT335. They sell direct or through Amazon.com.

I purchased my mower near the end of May and I finally have my TM1900 set up and running. After about 1 hour of mowing, I noticed that the shaft housing between the gear box and pulley assembly was too hot to touch. Is this normal? The mower appeared to be running OK, with no excessive...

Yesterday afternoon, I attempted to access TractorByNet and was greeted with the error message: :confused: This site can not provide a secure connection TractorByNet - Compact Tractors & Equipment Resource uses an unsupported protocol. ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH I had to switch to...

Does anyone know how the grip on the joy stick is attached to the shaft of the joy stick? Threaded, molded-on, pressed on? I'm trying to remove the existing grip to replace it with a grip with a momentary contact switch/button for the 3rd function for the FEL, but haven't been able to remove...

Has anyone on the forum using Weather Underground Wundermap had problems in the last week? Monday, Jun18, I brought up Wundermap to check the local temperatures/wind speed/direction and all I got was the usual screen with the menus/map options but only a sky blue background with no map or...

Since my last fill up, the fuel gauge is at full, despite having about 12 hours of heavy use. The gauge was working fine before the fill up. My problem is getting access to the sensor connector to disconnect and troubleshoot. Removing the hood would give me complete access to the area, but I...

I have a Bobcat CT335 HST with about 175 hours on it, and I noticed that there is a small oil leak from the right rear brake cam shaft. The service manual shows two o-rings sealing the shaft. Has anyone experienced a similar leak, and if so, was the repair able to be implemented without...

we purchased a squirrel proof bird feeder a couple of years ago, and it has been quite effective, until this little fellow last week showed up last week. Fun to watch though! I'm waiting for an opportunity to capture a photo of him in the feeder with one or more birds on the outer cage.

What's with the several postings listing sports streaming, showing up in various thread categories? These are the ones I've seen in today's postings: A bridge for a train is called a trestle. Started by livefox, Today 04:56 PM Go find a cop to hold on to. Started by livefox, Today 05:28 PM...

I'm in the process of installing the control linkeages for engaging and disengaging the mid pto, which involves moving the spacer shown in photo #2 from it's present location to the end where the snap ring is. Apparently, when the dealer installed the single rear hydraulic auxilliary kit, they...

No matter what I enter in the Google Custom Search box, all that I get is the same list of comments as shown below. This search box always worked great in the past. Anybody else experiencing this? I'm using Firefox browser. The search item entered in the box was 'alien invasion', but I've...

I just stopped in at my local gas station to find out when Winder Blend Diesel would be available. She said that it's usually available by the end of October, but there's none available anywhere around here, even at the terminals, and that's very unusual at this late date. BTW, current diesel...

Has anyone used a subsoiler to remove small sapling ( up to 3 - 4" dia) stumps? I have many small saplings surrounding the house that I'd like to remove. Using the grapple has not worked well, as they tend to break off instead of uprooting the tree in one piece. Trying to dig up the root...

I'm finally considering joining the twenty-first century and getting myself a cell phone. Is there anybody out in TBN land, especially in the Northeast, with experience with Consumer Cellular service and coverage area? I'll be considering just a basic phone, not a smart phone.

I just completed an oil and filter change on my Bobcat CT335 (100 hrs). Draining the oil was no problem, but as usual, removing the old oil filter was a frustrating experience, as it is with most vehicles that I've changed filters on. WHY CAN'T MANUFACTURERS PLACE THE FILTERS HANGING DOWN...

I'm getting ready to perform the 100 Hr. service on my CT335. One task is to clean out the Spark Arrestor Muffler. My concern is that the clean out plug is right over the alternator, and to avoid any contaminants getting into the alternator, I plan to fashion a deflector from sheet metal to...

Up to now, I have used a regular open-end adjustable wrench for maintenance work on my CT335, but would like to get a set of the most needed metric 6pt sockets, especially for the larger hardware (loader mounting bracket bolts, wheel nuts and bolts) but I can't seem to find just what size bolts...

This last storm (02/18/2014) dumped an additional 12 inches of snow here in the hills of Candia NH. The snow removal equipment did themselves proud. The Pronovost Puma-74 on the Bobcat CT335 worked without a hitch, and the Ariens walk-behind cleared the paths. Sorry, but no action photos...

I recently purchased a Moultrie M-880 game camera which advertised up to 8 Mp resolution photos. Even though I have the resolution set to 8 Mp, it only takes 4 Mp resolution photos (2688 x 1512), instead of the 3140 x 2160 shown in the specifications for 8 Mp. Has anyone else on the forum...

Yesterday, I stopped at the local Shell station to fill two 5 gal. containers with diesel fuel. I filled the first container with no problem but while filling the second container, the fuel was foaming excessively, with resultant foam overflow. I had to reduce the flow from the nozzle to a...

The manual for the pto drive shaft (T40) for my Pronovost Puma-74 snowblower calls for a M8 x 50mm safety shearbolt, but doesn't specify a grade. Does anyone have information on what grade shearbolt this should be?

I ordered a new Provonost Puma-74 snowblower back in November and it was delivered yesterday (12/23/13). I unloaded it from the dealer's trailer in the pouring rain and was soaked by the time I had it off the trailer, and attached to the 3pt hitch and moved bacl under cover. It's not set up...

I'm preparing to order a 3pt snow blower and would like to determine if one type of hydraulic chute rotation is better than the other! I would think that the hydraulic motor would be less problematic than the cylinder in this application (less chance of icing up), but I'm not sure.

Today, I was cleaning up some brush and fallen trees. There was one small maple, about 5 inches diameter at the base that was in my way, so I knocked it down flat with the grapple, then proceeded to finish uprooting the root ball. I had the grapple teeth under the root ball and when I curled...

Has anyone purchased a Utility Tractor service manual from Bobcat?? If so, did it come enclosed in a three ring binder? I just received a CT335 service manual from Bobcat but no binder, just the pages, pre-punched for a three-ring binder!

Hello again! Life is full of surprises. I purchased my CT335 just a year ago, and though I didn't order this option, I just discovered that it has a mid-mount pto. See attached photos. The only things that are missing are the mid-mount pto engagement lever beneath the seat and the pto shaft...

While preparing to do a complete grease job on my CT335 (Bobcat performed the first one during the 50 hour service), I noticed that the steering components were different than that shown in my manual. The manual shows two hydraulic cylinders, one for the left wheel and the second for the right...

As a newbie in the tractor world, I've come across a great deal of very useful information from the TBN forums. TBN helped me in the decision to purchase a BobCat CT335 tractor with 8TL FEL. After using the Bobcat for a month or two, along with a 6' box blade for driveway maintenance, I've...

Hello from Southeastern NH. After last winter (albeit a mild one here ), I decided that at the ripe young age of 70, that it wouldn't be too long before I wouldn't be able to keep up maintenance of 26 acres, mostly wooded, along with a 500 ft. gravel driveway that I clear in the winter with a...
