Bobcat ct230 oil cooler leak

[trkyman1]

Anyone know where I can get a replacement oil cooler other than the dealer? Mine just started to leak after 500+ hrs. The best price I found was $310.00.

Is this like yours? Kioti Tractor T2185-3721, TB14-6A oil cooler | eBay

No but it looks like it might fit. Mine does not have the tubing run like that one.

I had one go on my last tractor and ended up paying $300+ for a new one then found out a rad shop here could have brazed or welded up the leak in mine. Maybe there's a place there that can fix yours ?

Not sure but I think maybe the cooler has been updated, might talk to the seller for more information.

Yes I was going to call them for measurements. I can braze the leak if it was on a tube that was visable. Maybe a radiator shop has a better answer like billrog said.

The cooler Winston1 linked to is an updated cooler, changed to this in late 2008 early 2009. The newer cooler is slightly taller so best fit is to change both hoses as well. It can be made to fit with original hoses but they tight and could induce more vibration in the steel lines running along the frame.

[ Called that Kioti dealer and they could not confirm it would fit my ct230. They gave me the measurements and the hydraulic line inlet/outlet were about two inches wider than the stock cooler. Not sure I want to gamble if it would fit or not. My hoses are the flexible ones not rigid. If anyone put the Kioti one in please let me know how the fitment was. I need to order one soon.

If you go to the Bobcat parts manual reference #27 (old style cooler) has a note when ordering the new cooler #5 you also need to order 2 ea hoses reference #8. It would appear just by the drawing the new "tube" type cooler is the replacement for the old "fin" type cooler. The new cooler appears taller which would require longer hoses. Don't know any of this will help. :confused3:

If the part number does not fit a Kioti CK30 then it will not fit the CT230.

I just checked parts catalog on Michigan Iron website the part number of cooler on ebay is the newer cooler for the CK30 so will fit the CT230.

[ The mounting should be the same for the hoses. There is room for the cooler to hang lower than the original. The cooler mounting bolts are in the same holes. If you put longer hoses on then the cooler would need to be mounted higher. In the drawing the hoses appear to be the same. If the original hose was rigid then you would need to buy the flex hose with new cooler. My hoses are the rubber/flex and if the mount is the same they would have to fit. Thanks for the help everyone. I believe that one on ebay is going to work. I will report back when I get it in case anyone else needs the info.

Update. Installed the cooler I got off ebay for the kioti tractor and it fits perfect. Thanks again for the help.

Mine on my bobcat ct230 went out at 515 hours I got it replaced myself but the part cost me 500 plus hoses n such but the repair was pretty simple
