R18 in all my cases I simply give them the machine info as you do with dealers they look up the part number in there system, usually I buy the seal kits not individual seals

for most of my rebuild kits I use HW partstore, had several times the Deere dealer price was 6 times what HW could supply, never had a issue with the quality or fit https://hwpartstore.com/en-ca

would have guessed bearings in this application would be sealed, if they are not does it have a grease nipple? I would use sealed and de done with it

seems the back wheels are turning, so if the fronts are slow, set switch to front steer, align wheels pull the plug switch to 4 wheel steer and drive home using the rear wheel steer alone

which wheels are turning, front or rear? I would check the selector switch on the center as pictured last post, could be the connector has come off if it does rear wheels will not move

its using the auxiliary hydraulics, never ordered the thumb on mine instead built a clam setup to pick rocks and such, not a lover of a thumb on my old 442 it was in the way it seemed all the time

hi Acwa, my machine is a E32, it runs the angled bucket quite well I was fortunate to find the bucket at auction on a day when no one wanted it as bad as me, paid $2000 for it and worth every penny, only think I did was add a restrictor in the fitting to slow it down, I found the speed it angles...

years ago picked up a 42 inch with the angl feature, works great for grading ditches and burms, problem with just a fixed bucket is it only grades the same path the machine is sitting

before Covid I waited a few months finally dealer pulled one from another location, I had regular tires on it after a year picked up a set of turf tires with rims, tried them out and never went back, I gained a 1nch or so ground clearance never changed the fenders

the way I understand it the auxiliary hydraulics is a gear pump, when turned on it physically operates a pump not part of the machine hydraulics, normal flow and high flow they change the hydraulic output which reduces power but increases flow, have to look at the schematic as to how its done...

interesting when the aux switch is activated there is a definite motor noise present, figured it was a hydraulic motor activated by clutch

does the toolcat not have a different pump to the drive system?

well just got a call from dealer re the door latch, its close to 300 dollars and the key listed on line is not a typical Bobcat key, the key is 4 dollars so got 2 on order, who knew

George2615 the chain works for now, I know a locksmith could make a key, the question is the key the same as all Bobcats? my key will not get past 1/4 inch, Im figuring the tumblers are frozen/rusted in place but possibly its a total different key profile will see if I can get lock out, seems...

question for 843 owners, I have the front door the latch is newer style, early ones had a twist handle this is a flush style, trying to free the lock a couple nights ago had someone at 1:30 in the morning get inside, there for half hour and Im guessing wanted to start it or remove the door...

well took a good look around the machine and there is literally no where to mount this unit on the machine, figured possibly in the wheel well but rear steer makes this location a bust, they sure pack lots of stuff in this small space, its been some time since I looked under the seats to see...

you can get LED bulbs that fit the work light housings, some bulbs have a connector pigtail, those I cut the connector off and tinned the wire end, then it will push in the Bobcat connector without splicing, have to look more I figured I did a posting on this some time ago

on the model I have they are pre wired for the strobe, Bobcat sell a strobe kit, it mounts on the left side top of cab, hole is there with a rubber gromet, the electrical is under the headliner, the switch plugs in the dash again the wires and plug is under the dash, price was the factor for me...

not installed as yet, not much of any room under box and forget about under cab, have to get the UTV out the shop and pull it in for a better look, its too cold to du much outside these days I was hoping someone had figured out where to mount on

the Toolcats ability to dig solid ground compared to a skidsteer I would say 60%, it can lift the full bucket but digging straight in not s even with a toothed bucket that being said mine was not purchased to dig dirt, I clear snow with Vee blade, snowblower, move gravel and spread on driveway...

congrats on the new purchase, they are a nice machine, not for everyone but they do a great job and the second seat is a seller, my wife and grandchild ride along because they can cutting grass, blowing snow and grading the driveway, this summer mounted a post pounder and handy having posts and...

finally looking at installing a Webasto coolant heater in my Toolcat, before I begin has anyone done this? where did you plumb in the lines? where did you mount it? picked the heater up last fall it has remote on so handy on snowy days like today, seems we have had way more snow this year thus far

wireless is the way to go, installed another last month and sadly ordered the parts from China, locally its a 150 dollar bill China twenty five dollars, easy install only down side is the battery in the remote drains sitting, I do carry a spare battery in the glove box the one thing I have...

nice ripper, yes I drew the x change myself, Bobcat sell a mount bit way too big, the mount is 3/4 plate and 1/2 for the ribs and back, besides the bucket I have made a attachment to reverse the bucket so dig away from the machine, a rake out of 1 inch plate that is used to sift rocks out of the...

body is 1/2 thick, on the bottom I took a piece of grader blade for the tooth, its full width, it was laid out on cad, the mount is the x change for Bobcat, its 3/4 plate, all parts were plasma cut then welded together

the one I welded up the bottom is 5 inch the top same as the machine width. the picture is on the older machine the grapple is defiantly wider, never put on on the e32 so no issues, with such a taper on width plus length it does not clog unless one totally fills the bucket and compresses it, dug...

second snowfall, we had 8 inches total though could not wait, this is during the snowstorm winds were 30knots, lots of drifts and ended up calling it quits due to visibility

narrow buckets are a pain, depending on depth I built a sort of duck bill bucket for my E32, it will dig a 5 inch trench deepest to date was 3 feet though it could go deeper the trick is have little to no sides and not dig so aggressively you pack the clay into the bucket the trencher on the...

thats the ones, they work way better than the standard tires, at first figured I would only use them thro summer but they stay on all year, the down side they stand outside the fenders and in mud makes a mess but all around glad I purchased them

couple years ago I changed to grass tires, they are larger both in width and diameter, they defiantly perform for my needs, grass cutting, grading and gravel work, they have a larger contact area so do less tearing up and work better for me on snow

if it will not turn over and one plug is dead if the motor is flooded and gas in cylinder it could be hydro locked, try removing the plug and see if it turns over

the width needs to be wider than the machine tracks, one thing I will say a wider by a foot is great around fence posts and trees

not on a loader but my boat motor was killing the battery after a day sitting, it was the alternator, try isolating the alternator and if it has one regulator. myself when the regulator or alternator goes on older machines we wire in the older GM ones, they are simple, just the larger charge...

in the past I have used a self drill screw to thread into the seal, usually 2 opposite or 3 evenly spaced and used a pry bar to ease it out, seems on older machines the seals were way better, these new ones are tin and wear faster

its funny dealer said the option was not available in north america, they had no clue where or what the switch would be available after doing some reading turns out its the same switch on a motorcycle and atv, its sure handy having the reverse light option,

for your information, to add reverse lights to a mule 550 or 610, maybe others proved to be easy, the dealer was useless to get the switch fortunately Aliexpress has them for 3 dollars, next remove the 9/16 hex bolt/plug that is below neutral switch and install the new one, the wire is tucked...

several years ago added the wireless to my winch, works great but caution the battery in remote goes bad in about a year so carry spare batteries just in case

which model is this? the 2016 mule 610 the previous owner installed backwards, it goes in but a bugger to get out it hooks inside, Im assuming you can turn the cap it just will not pull out

my first Toolcat had way less hours and a constant fixing, learnt a lot buy new next time, I figured what I saved spent way more in parts, good experience got to know the service guys very well I would not buy a Toolcat with that many hours and needing work, owner says runs great just needs a...

never priced a turbo but if its anything like other Bobcat parts its not couple hundred dollars. 5800 hours is lots, rusted bad one thing you can not fix is rust, you can paint it, weld it but its still there I would pass and look for less hours in better overall condition, consider what this...

yes the Toolcat has it and works well, the 590 has a hare button, it speeds up and did for some tears, the other on the left is a rocker style, figured with the hare iluminated the rocker would increase and decrease but it does nothing until the hare light is off, who knew now its a rocket ship

on Sunday figured I would fix my driveway where the side slope was eroding, had a load of fill and started building up the edge, I knew the machine was 2 speed but figured the button was the high speed, it made a difference so I will say I was not very impressed with the high speed but it was...

man I miss the lower windows, wish now I had swapped the doors before the dealer took the trade in away

mine is in 4 wheel steer most of the time, only issue it does drift so once in a wile I reset it in track, the 2005 was way louder than the 2021 model

did this machine have weights bolted to the motor cover at one time

hi Fading, the 2005 Toolcat had over 2500 hours, I did do work on it however I sold it after several years for more than I paid, I still have a skidsteer around, there are many things it does better than the TC but in general I prefer to use the TC over the skidsteer from the point I can ride...

my first Toolcat was a 2005 model, had issues but it was available, I could use it right away and sell it for what I paid if it was not what I wanted the new one was 4 months delivery, discounts dream on here but did get a few extras and upgrades, doubt I would have purchased a new one given...

my 2021 Toolcat came with the standard construction tires, they worked for blowing but were not the best, a year later I picked up a finish mower and came with a set of grass tires, they are a couple inches taller and way wider but compared to the original way finer tread, I found for blowing...

does this have a separate coil? if it does move it away from the engine and try it, seen some years ago where a vehicle coil went bad when it got hot, I moved if from the top of the motor and it ran fine until replaced

this summer on a Mule with impulse pump that went bad, it worked but next to no pressure, would keep machine running but when used it ran out of fuel, the replacement pump was bad out the box so just because you replace does not guarantee its good since then I have replaced all impulse when...

my recommendation when it dies open the drain on the carb bowl, is it empty or full? those impulse pumps are not great with age and the ethanol gas, pick up a cheapo electric and try it again, had a issue with a mule where the float shutoff pin the center should be spring loaded but it was stuck...

quick update, turns out the ignition switch is not original, there is a glowplug momentary switch, up powers glowplugs down nothing so wired the starter to it, then it would start fine with ignition switch on but shut down 10 to 15 seconds, that electronic bow pulls the fuel solenoid, however...

had a similar issue on a forklift, ran great for a short period and died, fuel bowel empty so installed a electric pump, similar issue so I emptied the tank, used a shopvac with a 3/4 plastic hose to vacuum the tank bottom, lots of junk and refilled, to my surprise same issue, turned out the...

thats what I figured but worth asking what others use, thanks

anyone know if the hydraulic system can use 10-40 motor oil, the manual says 10-40 oil, or SAE 10w-40 oil with API rating -SF-SC oil

what I tried was ignition on and jumped the solenoid, it took quite a bit of cranking but did run, cut for a couple hours, want to change oil its thinner than motor oil Im thinking its easier to install a push to start switch than figure the electrical system, it may be in the box of tricks

this has been sitting for a couple seasons but would be handy if it will run, it cranks over fine, just poofs white smoke and not attempting to run turn key lights on, pump runs and fuel solenoid fires, when key is turned to start the pump quits till the key turns from start to ign, anyone...

quick update, the shoes arrived, installed, set the driven 120 degrees and locked, the drive was dirty and a clean worked great moves freely now, installed the pulleys and belt, it was tight and not disengaging, remember the two bolts in the first picture, they control the amount the driven...

having issues with a Kawasaki Mule 610 drive, when stopping unless the shifter is in neutral it continues to creep, does not quite stall the motor but close if the brake is applied. this is a new machine to me, it was a project so expected some work, took the belt off it was tight but is the...

the BedStep would be my choice, might just order a couple and see how they fit, like how they fold out of the way

there must be something more than just the programming, they would need a load cell at the bucket pivot point otherwise all cylinders on boom, dipper and bucket would need transducers to calculate the mechanical advantage each pivot creates if this load cell is on the bucket pivot it will read...

that would be a feature that would be handy, Im assuming its a attachment at the bucket mount,

its on a Bobcat E32, I find it has its place, filling holes it moves the spoils to the hole not towards the machine, it digs away from machine so up against a wall or any object it is not pulling the spoils back in the hole or trench, built it for one job and it does get used quite a lot, it was...

thats a nice job, I have the 36 inch clean out bucket with the angle swivel adaptor for the E32, find its a handy bucket for gravel and as I can angle it works great for grading especially if the ex is not sitting on level ground recently I made up a couple adaptors that allows me to attach a...

good idea a gravel bucket, the thing I find with the mini ex buckets they typically have no depth to them so volume is low, compared to my Cat loader backhoe with a 24 inch bucket it will scoop at least 5 times the volume compared to my ex

over the last few spikes in prices over decades one thing equipment never goes down in price, I look at my first new skidsteer, paid 30 for it in 1995, today its still running like a top, rusty pain everywhere but had a offer of 25 for it this spring, my E32 new 4 years ago given its got little...

got the M12 first and was real happy with it then the M18 came out, anyway picked one up and its a beast, jury is still out on the preset number of pumps, either too small or too large, like the light feature, for me the M18 all the way

pump arrived so had a bit of time installing as its a cylinder the original was square buiried between the frame and hydraulic oil tank, figured I would mount this one to the frame for access, had to replace all hoses but it runs fine now and seems to be better in the dense grass, not working so...

quick update, changed filters motor and oil, hydraulic filters topped up tank, fuel filter and cleaned tank best we could, tried to remove air by loosening screw on filter housing, the lift pump was a no go, have power just no action, looking more like the issue was lack of fuel, will get a new...

thats pretty well what I have, it connects to the X-change and you attach any bucket or attachment you want, I leave the 36 clean up bucket to it, its actuated by the auxiliary connectors on the boom this has worked well, if it was permanently mounted on machine it adds a foot to the arm, plus...

here is the update, the 610 is working like a charm but sunday at the lake the old 550 lost power going up hill and dies, after much cranking it did start, ran back home lower rpm or it also died. after doing some investigation I suspected the fuel pump, but testing as the manual describes it...

to me the motor is under heavy load as if the hydraulics are under high pressure, this will happen with everything off, no drive movement or mower motors, it just decides to stall the motor out

typically when mowing as the grass gets thicker you hear the motor working harder, if I stalled a blade it has the same effect, in this case the unit is cutting fine, it defiantly sounds like the motor is working harder and will stall out, Im thinking hydraulic issue not motor, motor will fire...

its defiantly time for motor oil change with filters, the motor temperature is in normal range I was more referring to the hydraulic system as manual calls for 17 gallon to normal level and all I had around late saturday was 8 to 9 gallon. either way Im thinking the issue is more hydraulic as...

morning all, have a Jacobson HR 5111 mower, has the 2 wings and cuts a 11 foot swath, this has ben a workhorse for 8 years, this year it was low on hydraulic oil, got it to my workshop and topped it up only had 2 pails, its still low and picking up more oil today, problem is it runs for a half...

agree but its air cooled

sure does, fuel pump was allowing fuel to flow both ways, the carb was not bad but on the float pin/needle has the spring pin inside, the pin was sticking which I believe made the fuel level higher, anyway I replaced the needle and all is good

for material its made of 3/4 steel plate for X change sides, bucket sides are 1/2 or 3/8 plate, back of bucket is 3/8 steel 5 sections to create the profile, on the edge I used a 5 1/2 inch of road grader blade, it does the work and takes abuse welding was 2 hours and ready to dig, figure we...

no knock off, I have used the bobcat for several miles of trenching, this was version 4 and it works 100%, the shallow depth and widening prevents clogging, it basically self cleans gave the files to two members, they are happy but not using the bobcat x change mounting, this was designed to...

on my E32 we tried trenching with a 9 inch rental, was never cleaning and packed with material 9 out of 10 times, switched to a 18 and way better though for gas lines and electric it was a overkill. check out the trench bucket I built a couple years ago, it cuts a 5 to 6 inch trench, widens as...

the odd check valve arrived, testing by blowing there is no difference, maybe a little less it is free flow one way and requires a good blow to flow the other, free flow is towards the fuel tank. what I have done, stripped the carb and gave it a good cleaning, it was no obvious issues, replaced...

for shaping I use a 36 inch tilting bucket, will swivel 35 degrees each way great for ditch work last week plasma cut the plates so I can mount any attachment in reverse, this allows me to dig against a post or wall with ease, will do a few pictures of this one next week

what machine are you putting it on? mine is a Bobcat X change I drew it on cad so it works with there system, no pins, this will dig down 32 inches easily the shallow depth and taper stops it clogging,

not sure a ripper will lay pipe, I made a custom bucket for pipe, I can dig a trench 5 inches wide quickly and minimal filling afterwards

regarding relief valve, if there was no valve you would have blown a hose a long time ago every time you bottom any cylinder on the arm

agree 100% but we are not talking about a machine that is coming back wanting repair because a new bucket the dealer sold them will not fit we are talking a new machine that the customer wants a specific bucket on, the post clearly says the machine is out of spec, did the dealer tell the new...

when you do a repair because it was needed like the muffler thats great saving the customer money and good on you but a new machine? so what if it needs to get line bored, if it took 0.005 to fix it a hand reamer with pilot would have done the job and it would be right, right means the customer...

if this was a new machine why would the dealer not run a reamer thro the hole? 0.005 is not much but when the time comes to replace the pin I can only assume it will still not fit and the owner is again faced with the issue his machine will not work, imagine being in the bush and down needing a...

agree will be next in the shop have a Artic Cat 500 ATV in the way waiting on a primer assy, once installed I will be pulling the carb off the Mule

the pressure is from the fuel and warm temperatures, maybe Im over thinking this issue the check valve is the cause, takes a decent pressure to flow from the tank but nothing to the tank, think a half jerry can of fuel sitting in the sun there is the pressure Im talking about,

it has no fuel return, my thought on float stuck if up no fuel could get thro to run if stuck open it would keep dumping fuel to intake, would idle erratic or high the carb is my next task on the list

the connections on canister never have changed, one goes to the intake, one has a hose and goes over the fuel tank, has a fuel filter then a hose thats open sitting between fuel tank and front right of seat panel, assume its a breather. as for the fuel pump, its the right one from dealer...

regarding the main Jet, as this machine will run full throttle for a minuet or so before slowing I was assuming the carb was good and more a supply issue, figured a carb issue its continuous, from what my service manual has for information all this vent carbon canister stuff is a Canada only...

new fuel made no difference, new pump was needed never heard of anyone draining the carb and tank for winter, could it be carb? maybe,

to answer the above we leave the fuel in every winter and never have a issue, I have had a mule 550 and it still runs today as it did from close to new unfortunately its not quite the same fuel setup, oil is real thin and when drained we measured 1 25 liters, that's more than recommended, full...

this is a air cooled unit, no coolant, still questioning the pressure in the gas tank, figured there is a vent to prevent this,

new fuel made no difference its white smoke lots and oily smell, with temps of -40 starting over winter is not a option, my thought is with warmer weather and fuel tank pressurising somehow gas got into the oil, may explain how the oil is now way past full, will be changing oil today and figure...

looking for a few ideas, have a 2016 mule 610, it has 150 hours and ran like a top from new never had any issues changed oil yearly, today first run of the year, started fine but idle was slower than normal, running around the yard half throttle fine but under load on hill and full throttle lots...

great, its nice when its a fix one can do themselves instead of a visit to dealer, seems nothing is less than 1000 dollars these days

if you rotate the bucket to the side and lift the track off the ground does it try to move?

so when you swing with the machine it has force, like pushing the spoils back into the trench? was thinking possibly a shear pin somewhere maybe

if I purchased a piece of equipment and found this type of fix I sure would be pissed at the dealer,

what do the owners do if they switch back to another bucket that is welded right? replace the bucket at the dealer in this case

this bucket if correct for the machine should not need modifying something is preventing it aligning, I would look and see where it is hitting something

rotating the bucket is needed to align the holes, I can see using a hammer if its just to get the last bit but no way will a hammer pull a hole that far in my opinion, do you have a tapered pry bar you can wiggle in to try and align it

many years ago I had the Bobcat 442 and used it lots for power, gas and water, digging footings and drilling holes for posts, as age got the better and it had no cab I bit the bullet and went with a new E32, cab heat and air, must say I love it and even though I only put 20 hours a year unless...

looks like it needs to rotate to align holes, there must be a obstruction allowing the holes to align, this a new bucket?

if you rotate with the hydraulics and put the bucket against a obstruction does the motor still turn or stall out with continuous force trying to turn

over the years I have rebuilt many Kubota and Isuzu engines, some were complete rebuild others were new liners and pistons, grind valves in and gaskets, the factory service manuals are very good and give step by step plus what to check, what is wrong with the motor?

sure would like a machine that size, the mini E32 is OK but not when it comes to doing larger projects, just takes too darn long

any hydraulic shop, bearing supply can find O rings, we have a local bearing supplier that has found us some odd seals over the years, check the local supply guys out

had something similar on a old 743 the springs were weak

another thing, when I replaced the resistor the wires were not correct as the original, when connected to the machine fan it ran on one speed only, if the speed does not change when you lift cab to replace the resistor check wires first

yesterday we had another good dump of snow, add the 45mph winds zero visibility and this morning have 4 foot drifts, cleared a path on the driveway with the V plow but tonight have to mount the snow bucket to move it, just too much for the plow this is the most snow in 10 years, enjoy using the...

that looks a neat machine, can you get a regular skid steer mounting for it?

looking good

when you are ready I could give you the cad file to have parts cut at a cnc plasma or water jet shop,

18 to 24 inch deep, not sure what you are doing but I wanted to install some electrical and water on my property, the EX had the 16 inch bucket but way too much of a trench so I made this bucket, it will go down a good 2 feet, made from 3/8 plate 6 inches wide at the tip with a grader blade edge...

I would agree with that, those salt spreaders sure pack salt in every crevis, on mine when the box was taken apart there was a bead of salt and rust between the parts, doubt even if you washed it after use the salt would simply dissolve and get in the smallest of spaces

any chance you have air in the head? mine rarely pushes any grease after removal of the head

my first Toolcat was rusty, not holes but lots of surface rust, previous owner used it for snow removal and salting on sidewalks, had the unit 6 years and in that time holes in floor appeared which required cutting, way more than the hole area but fixed the issue, there was no fix for the box...

the S590 had fan issues, on mine the resistor pack on the fan was the cause but also the fan has a drain hose, its closed and suppose to open when the housing gets water inside, mine was not opening, water accumulated and frozen the fan solid, I changed the resistor and permanently opened the drain

this one is from Bobcat, assume the tile side is by them I would take a few pictures but its buried in snow, for my uses its a great attachment, using a standard bucket its impossible to get the slope of land unless the ex is positioned just right the EX has the X change system, the tilting...

purchased a 32 wide bucket with the tilt attachment, use it on my Bobcat E32, for the most part its a handy tool, works great for landscaping as it conforms to the slope of the land, dug a few drainage ditches again it cuts the sides easily

on the display does it show temperature and rpm? you could have a sensor defective, does speed show up and change when you try to throttle? what temperature is displayed? do you have a way to measure it

here is the error codelist XX-XX CODES Excavator Display Controller Code Description 02-16 Hydraulic/Hydrostatic Filter Not Connected 02-17 Hydraulic/Hydrostatic Filter Plugged 03-09 Battery Voltage Low 03-10 Battery Voltage High 03-11 Battery Voltage Extremely High 03-14 Battery Voltage...

the issue I find with the pucks is they are at the back of the blower frame so depending how you tilt it will allow the cutting edge to dig in and still ride on the pucks, just my opinion the skids should be beneath the edge that way it would rock on the skids without the edge digging

ruffdog, how pleasant, the wife plowed snow a few times during the day and enjoyed the views over the fields but most times now its at night so she stays in, my latest companion is our grandson, he loves the snow drift flying over the plow and whiteout on the windshield, fun times for sure the...

my driveway is a couple foot compacted road base followed by a inch or so of brushed rock 3/4 inch, I do grade to mix the top surface yearly, as for clearing snow as stated you need to get a surface of packed snow, I will raise the blade a inch for the first couple times even back dragging a...

you did a decent job for the equipment at hand and looks like it will work quite well for most light work

great Job, my Bobcat blower is high flow and shear pins, had it stop many times even found the 14 inch adjustable wrench last fall and stopped dead but never sheared the pin, would be quite the job to fix in the field clogging happens and a pain to clear, when the blower starts to throw the...

looks good, re heater, I have to crack the window a bit or its too hot, as for tail swing you get use to it, around vehicles or tight areas I use the 2 wheel steer, took out some fencing one time here

I would not think its a solenoid bad because you would only loose up or down, do you hear anything from the hydraulics or notice if oil is going to the lift cylinder, last time I had something similar the piston seal was bad and oil was going past the piston, in this case there are signs like...

just to clarify, the lift arms are not moving but your tilt/curl function is? also the auxiliary to power the plow blade will move the blade V function

so when you say it does not go up or down are you saying the arms or the blade will not angle the blade?

is it a V plow or straight blade

what type of plow do you have

agree to reprogram the Toolcat controller problem is the switches it works on now are the ones that control the rotation of the chute left and right plus raising and lowering the chute for the snow blower, the blade would be OK but the snow blower would be screwed, the module is what needs to be...

from what I gather the switches are programmed into the machine, in turn the plow has a circuit board to read the signal from the machine, thats why the blade and other bobcat implements will not work on other brands, the actual command to operate the solenoid comes out of this circuit board...

here is a couple pictures comparing the light from the headlamp to the LED cab lights, a vast improvement over the original bulbs

valves are solenoids and to switch direction yes they can be switched however the assignment to a specific switch to coincide with the joystick buttons can not, seems odd they use a left and right also up and down, it would be nice if they used the up and down buttons each side of the joystick...

got a decent amount of snow in places a couple feet so had fun with the blade last night, here is a few pictures of the removal

also this just heats the coolant, there are units that heat just the cab, had one on a boat and worked great the heat output was ducted inside, unit and exhaust outside, they are used lots on school busses, another does both coolant and cab heat, these units have lower heating for coolant and I...

ruffdog I have the thin oil, it has the dry bulb block heater good for -15C max and that is pushing it, 3 or 4 cycles of glow plugs and lots of cranking, the issue is we like winter vacations in Mexico unfortunately we return to a windy -30C down to -40C and the block heartier does nothing...

this is the unit I am looking at

looking for someone who has mounted a Webasto evo coolant heater on a Toolcat, with temperatures of -25C the block heater barely does anything, this heater heats the coolant this would be a game changer as the Toolcat could be in a remote area and still start and run

Bobcat dealer sell them, couple years ago replaced the 2005 side doors, original were steel with mesh new ones are plastic

yesterday we had snow for most of the day and night lots of blowing, this morning figured I would move snow, with a temperature of -37C the Toolcat stored indoors was no issue but the blade outside was impossible to get enough bend in the hoses to connect so put the blade inside the shop and...

hi song dogger, around here the only ones I could find were the 90 degree ones, the straight ones here with the pigtail the back of the heatsink defiantly hit the wirer on 2 of 4, as for the white light loosing detail I agree they wash out the shadows, we had snow ll day yesterday and I can say...

if it stops instantly thats a sign the bearings are dry or seized, remove the side cover and turn it by hand to see if its stiff or free, if stiff spray some thin oil at the bearing housing ans see if it will free up

what series Toolcat, only time I have had this the fan was restricted from rotating due to mice, does the fan stop instantly or slows down, you could have a bearing going, does yours have the resistor block to give the speed for the motor? other thing has it ever ran above 3? if used is the...

ruffdog never looked at the connection outside the light, just saw the connector inside the housing, if you switch the grey and black the bulb goes high beam, maybe that is easier I just assumed the w wires made it to the cab, possibly feed a extra wire to the headlamp is another option thanks...

my service manual is at work but when I get it tomorrow will review the electrical schematic and see where the high beam wire goes, hoping I can add a switch to go between high and low, I moved the power to the high side of the bulb and way more light, a easy option is just switch connectors but...

pulled a bulb out of headlights and the bulb has high and low beam, its wired but best I can figure only low beam is working, has anyone figured out if the high beam works? is there a switch Im missing somewhere? if not going to switch the leads and see if its any better

since changing the work lights on the Toolcat its night and day difference, anyone changed the head lights to LED and if so what brand and style did you use? on another note Merry Christmas everyone be safe

this is the lights last night, its a vast improvement, also a shot of the connector showing amount to remove, its about 1/4 inch, without it the lights can not be rotated down to get a good beam, after actually trying them I think I may rotate up a little to get more distance

this is where I ended up, the bulbs have to rotate up to function, if you rotate them down and they will as no physical stop exists on this bulb unlike the halogen the issue is it will get hit by the wipers when operating so the bulb has to be vertical with the bulb in the vertical position the...

I will be picking up 4 more today to install now I know they will work, I will take some pictures of the bulb and part numbers at that time, the light off the one front one is brighter than the headlamps, quite a improvement

after the install of 4 led lights on the series A toolcat wanted to go LED on the new one but keep the original lamps, got a couple on Amazon, they were easy fit but not much different than the halogen, after some looking local found a couple 880/881 bulbs said to be 5000 lumins, they fit direct...

we finally got a couple inches of snow so I removed the blower and tried the V blade, not sure it would be my first choice for snow clearing but it worked quite well, only complaint was the Joystick control and how it communicates with the plow, would have figured the left and right buttons...

My bet is alignment rather than bad heat treating when the shaft was made, just a little stress when in use over a few million revolutions, that way a fatigue crack develops and eventually lets go, look for a new shaft and seals and with luck the cab does not have to be removed, good luck with...

sure looks like the keyway, first looks I would say the shaft was not aligned causing stress but its a pulley, only thing is if the tension was way too high but sure is a odd looking break, some looks old fracture, could anything get trapped between the pump and pulley? got a picture of the...

have to agree the failure is looking like it has been cracked/flawed for some time, my old series A would stall many times when grading and took too much bite, the 2019 model is beefier but has stalled and I would be pissed if stalling caused a shaft to shear. you can likely replace just the...

that sure sounds expensive, I would have figured the belt would be squealing if the pump was locked up, for a pump to fail that quickly there is more of a issue than the pump, wen you say broken end of the pump you mean the shaft sheared?

had a 442 that had low oil, the oil would get minute air bubbles in it foamy and have low power at the drives, had to sit a couple days to get air out and topped it up, fixed the issue and good after, did you notice air in the oil?

thats more than they cost in 2013?

yes I saw that more what the final bid was

anyone get a screen shot of what they sold for, left the page open figured it would show the final bid but it just says sold

that sure went up fast today,

having had 2 Toolcats the first a 2005 with 1500 hours and no history it served me well for 4 years, put on close to 300 hours and yes it needed some work but nothing major, traded it in for a new 2020 model, this has 100 hours on it only issue was the fuel gelling last winter, it was cold at...

and just like that the weatherman is calling for freezing rain today changing to snow overnight with a heavy snowfall warning for tomorrow, that means rain tonight changing to some snow tomorrow, we will see well we got a 1/4 inch of rain, no freezing or snow but he again assures us we will...

well now the snow has come we did get a inch or so, not enough to get excited about, its enough to pack down to freeze the driveway so the blower and bucket does not pickup the gravel, maybe not clearing the snow but will have a fun time driving with the grandson to pack it down The thing that...

now thats a neat way to do it

well went out this morning and not a single flake, again our weather man issuing special weather warnings for snow has failed, in response to snow here, last 5 or 6 years way less snow that usual, most all the local ponds and slews are dried up and out lake at the cabin is down a good foot or...

this was the first snow of 2020 last year on this day, we had blizzard conditions and driving from the city to home 20Kms took over 2 hours due to white out conditions in open areas, the weather man has us under a snow fall warning with freezing rain tonight turning to snow by morning, snow...

why would anyone use the Toolcat to generate power, it would be far cheaper to have a stand alone generator on gas or diesel plus no wear and tear on the Toolcat, just my opinion

you could check using a pressure gauge on the line from the pump

my 2020 was listed at $75K before discounts, loaded, thats Canadian, since picked up a set of wheels with turf tires. I installed the LED front lights waiting on the spray liner, noticed yesterday some edges of the box has light rust, got 60 hours and never had anything in the box other than a...

cold rolled is soft and not great material, I have made lots of pins and get material from the local cylinder rebuild shop, the hydraulic cylinder rods are good material and they usually have lots from old cylinders for decent price, its easy to machine with carbides

curious, what is the loaded price for the 5600 compared to the uw56?

any guesses what they will sell for? Im thinking prices here and 25K

also looks like the jack legs are down on the trailer,

might be worth popping the switch out and check the switch, I had a switch that went bad on my series A model, felt right but not moving the contact inside

give it a hour and the rv trailer will float off the sand, saw this years ago but it was a smaller trailer

in your picture the lower left switch changes the headlights to the ones above windshield, it also adds the rear when switched the other direction

my 2005 series A had the diff lock, solid axle, its been a few years since I played with it but both front and rear axle are the same, both can be locked and I did use a portapower to lock the front, at that time I was going to add a tee to the line and valve so when stuck I could lock both...

is the belt loose?

hope you enjoy your new machine, its night and day compared to my 2005 machine, agree dealer get stock loaded and went that way due to lead time, I also find it somewhat jumpy when moving slow but as someone stated try the work setting regarding the lower windows, I miss them more when blowing...

its been a few years since I looked at the locking axle but this is how I recall it, the wheels have to be straight and normal steer setting, low speed and on mine it was hit and miss, my rear left steering was not aligned due to changing the bearings on the pinions, the original bearings were...

on my older machine it had a doff lock switch on the middle console, what I found it only worked when the steering was in 2 wheel and the wheels were straight and light lit on console, also only in low speed not high range,

my guess is diesel will be around long after electric loaders are dead, electricity is not free, they would like to think it is but as some point it will fade, there is nothing that can pack energy for size than diesel or gas and when he electric loader is out of charge mid afternoon what do you...

regardless of the rubber block when the machine is lifted up the arms should allow the axle to drop, something is preventing the arms moving, when no load is on the front the rubber bumpers should not be touching, my current machine has traction control my old one had rear axle lock, its setup...

better trade them for 4 rims without tires, someone could use foam filled somewhere, tried removing one years ago and even when we got the tire off the stuff was stuck bad to the rim ended up tossing them

from my experience a bent spool will not fully rotate and hangs up, it is also not uncommon that the spool will move back and forth some but be tight coming out, what age is the machine? over many years I have seen small O ring pieces prevent a valve moving, it could also stop the spool coming...

thats the same size as my dump bucket, only used for snow and works great the advantage you do not use the tilt function on the machine to empty the bucket

take a look at the parts diagrams on Bobcat site if you do not have a manual, there my be a detent ball on the end that has moved, can you rotate the spool? this will get you to find a breakdown of valve Bobcat Genuine Parts Catalog – Official Bobcat Company site

noticed the openings in the snowblower, they are likely there now the lights have been lowered in the fender so you can still see in front if you choose to use headlights rather than the over cab lighting

when I purchased my 2021 Toolcat I spoke with the dealer about the vision over the lights, asked why since it was exactly the same issue in my 2005 the lights have not been located in the fenders, he said it was due to the lights being a option and only one style fender fits all, glad to see...

kevin, I have the same blade but rarely use it due to excessive snow build up on blade, do you have issues with this and how are you preventing buildup

if the oil in the hydraulics is full it would be worth doing a filter change to start
