    CT 225 front wheel bearing

    Now that you tell.me the seals are Bob Cat specific, I probably will order the seals before I start the work, I do not want the tractor out of commission for too long. I was hoping to take it appart and find seal here in my town, for a BOb Cat dealer it's a 3 hour drive one way... Thank you.

    CT335 Dead as a doornail

    Hello I had the same issue it took me a long time to figure out it was a relay. When turning the key do you hear the relay "clik", if not I would start there, you say if you jump tge starter it starts. So it might also be a safety switch, One under the seat, 1 for rear PTO, one for mid PTO...

    CT 235 no forward power some reverse?

    Seville, I agree. I will get 2 new hydraulic filters. Yes this tractor has 2 and I'm not sure what one does Vs the other, so 2 filters, then on the suction side of the pump I will replace the o rings, and Bob Cat inserted a small 4 inch rubber hose in between the suction line and the pump, so I...

I did this at about 700 hours.

    I think its a relay. Do you hear a clicking sound when you turn the key? You should, relay. Same thing happened to me on a CT235 a few years back but i cannot remember what and where that relay was. Try to jump the starter, it should start.
