thanks for the suggestion but I believe and see only time the steering gets pressure is when the cylinder reaches end of travel, otherwise the steering wheel will turn continually, if I reverse direction many times it recovers, last night lifted the rear and seemed to work fine, test cut a area...

have a Jacobson HR5111 mower, been good but last night had steering issues, noticed when turning the steering the actual wheels will be unresponsive more so if not moving, it still turns when mowing but sluggish and soft, first thing comes to mind several years had a similar issue turned out to...

have the E32, only swing is different and no DEF

thanks Richard, agree it was a 70 dollar item and chose to not replace not because of cost but it looked fine and no tight spots, at least this time just drain fluids, pull motor and turn upside down to get at it, still a few hours another odd issue, the mechanical fuel pump quit pumping prior...

hi, story had this mower for over 10 years, last year the plastic can gear lost teeth, I replaced the camshaft with the all steel shaft/gear, oil pump gear the governor looked OK put it back together and worked fine, last couple weeks the motor will change RPM for no reason, idle will speed up...

so finally after a couple hours got it free again, after taking the U joint off the issue was in the steering wheel bushes, rather than taking the dash out I git the steering wheel nut with a piece of brass, not hard but enough to free it up, no idea what the build inside is but turns with a...

Sadly no, machine has less than 75 hours on it, looked on the weekend at the steering there is no grease points, both u joints and tie rods are sealed, there is grease nipples for suspension?

had this machine for several yeas, unlike the newer its not power steering, either its me getting old and weak but the steering feels way tighter than I seem to recall, looked at the front end and nothing appears to be serviceable, before I start getting into it any other owners feel the...

the plug on a Bobcat is not a switched 12v supply rather a digital signal that requires a hook up on the attachment to work solenoids, my suggestion is make up a switch box and run it off the 12 volt auxiliary from the bobcat, thats what I had to do with a tree spade

what switch is worth 500 dollars? more curious what it is and which one

if it goes to the solenoid check the electrical diagram but it can only be a switched 12volt circuit and a solenoid does not care if the plus and minus wires are reversed

this was shortly after cleanup and today they call for another 4 to 6 inches

this was Friday at work, snow most of the afternoon and next day after it stopped clearing on the driveway, had a good 2 foot blown in, sadly the Toolcat plow was a non starter, here is the S590 to the rescue

the flood lights are off the rocker switch on the dash, one position is the flood the other position is the driving, you could add another switch to activate both be easy to do or just move the flood wire to the same terminal as the driving side, sadly the driving lights have high and low beam...

thats a nice looking setup
