WINSTON, do you have a part # for the preheater relay #25 Thank you!

Thank you so much Winston! I was just going to PM you, asking for this schematic! Gives me a direct route to look! [emoji106][emoji106]

Hi guys! I turn my ignition on, my 2 Red lites come on, but Not the glow plug lite. Every so often, turning the key on and off it'll finally turn on. Luckily its warm, so I crank for quite some time, and she finally fires up. I've changed my glow plugs about 200 hrs earlier. It's got 940hrs...

Sensors are ordered![emoji106][emoji106]

Thanks so much Winston! UR the greatest![emoji106]

Can anyone give me numbers for the CT225 PTO SAFETY SENSER SEAT SAFETY SENSOR Want to replace these. Thanks alot!

They sure are Great guys! Very much appreciated! Couldnt have got it fixed w/out them! [emoji122][emoji122]

Absolutely!![emoji106][emoji106]

I sure did! Learned a BIG lesson here today! Couldnt believe all of the wires connecting here connecting there. And so many sensors![emoji2357]

Got her started! I worked and worked the safety switch on the PTO. BINGO turned over, and started right up! THANKS so MUCH, for all of your HELP here guys! She's moved, and I'LL give it all a good look over in the GARAGE! WOO! HOO!

Thank you for that info! Took battery to shop. They said its good. Multi meter reads 12.7V Cleaned cables both ends. Then tried jumping solenoid. It runs the starter, and just spins. Does not engage the motor. Am i doing what you said here on the post? Or am i misunderstanding something. Thanks...

So i touch the booster cable to the solenoid??? Or is there another place to jump it? Thanks

Well I jumped the solenoid, The starter just spins. No engagement. Bendix??? Still doesnt solve the key issue.

Thanks for the replies. I found my seats safety switch had fallen off. I keep tools behind the seat. I just got lucky closing it up for the nite, and saw it. Now my dashboard lites up, and the glowplug lite etc works. Still just 1 click when turning the key. Butttt, no starter. Cleaned negative...

Thank you for the reply. Cleaning the batt cables etc, were corroded very bad. Took alot of cleaning. Concerned if the cables are corroded internally. ????

Hi guys, needing HELP PLEASE! Tractor is on the side of the road, behind shed. Was using it, shut it off, and now it won't start. 2 days before I noticed my glow plug light wouldnt lite up. So I turned the key the other way, to start manual. Then, that stopped working. Had to crank forever to...

Ive read so many times about tree limbs and oil filter problems. Ive had so many close calls myself. Cleared 4 acres of thick honeysuckle. And then to have to deal with the dealers screw up. Thanks for sharing, keeps me always looking. I just screw up on oil pan bolts, overtightning. [emoji2357]

The helicoil sounds like a good start! And Winston I need to remember the torque specs! Thanks!

Boy I hate these metric thread sizes. And I forgot Bobcat part #'s, are hard to track down. Thanks for the responses![emoji106][emoji106]

Does anyone know what the threads are? Its a 19mm socket. Thanks!

Like a sleeve?

Changed my oil. One of the oil pan bolts doesnt tighten real tight. The threads on the bolt are fine. Sooo, I presume my threads are. messed up in the pan. Any suggestions what I can do to fix it? Thanks for you help! Terry

Someone else is getting a nice tractor! I have a CT225. Bought it with 150hrs. Now getting close to 1000. A new battery, and glow plugs. Broken bucket cylinder nut, it was my fault. Still a great tractor. My work horse! Great story! Thanks for sharing![emoji106][emoji106]

I have a 2010 CT225. I use Tractor Supply Traveller Hydraulic Oil. It just hit 900hrs. HTH's

I sure did learn my lesson! That's the way I usually do it! I learn the HARD way! Lol That's why I like to read these posts, GREAT LEARNING, before it happens to me! [emoji106][emoji106]

FIXED! Took the cylinder rod out. The nut was fully stripped off. ODD THREADS(BOBCAT) Not metric, or standard. JEEZ! Machine shop turned to Standard Thread. (Didn't loose much meat thank goodness). 40.00 New cylinder, per BOBCAT. 850.00 plus shipping.

Well I finally got to take cylinders off front attachment plate. The left cylinder rod completely fell out. The threads were all stripped off. The right cylinder I could not push or pull it out. So I presume AOK. Can anyone steer my towards buying another cylinder? Part number etc? Loader model...

Thank you! I will check it out tomorrow. [emoji106]

Hi everyone! I was pushing brush up in a pile with my front fork attachment. I had the loader arm up, and the forks curled all the way down. I guess one fork hit a stump in the ground, and it made a LOUD POP. Now the whole front fork attachment just falls forward. I can assist it putting it on a...

Thanks for the input! Very interesting information! I'd rather keep my equipment around! Keep my blades sharp, and operate it by sound, vibration, operation, etc. Makes sense!

Thanks! I don't believe mine says it. I will look later today. I was thinking RED DIAMOND was MAX RPM.

Welding did GREAT! Ran her all day yesterday! I still hope off and check it! [emoji1787]

Hi guys, if I mow with my tack showing 1500 rpm, is my rear PTO turning 540? Orrrr, do I need to run RPM's to the RED DIAMOND on the tack, for 540? Thanks alot! Terry

WOW! Sorry to see what ur going thru! Good Luck!

It's not high pressure. It's at a welding shop, getting fixed. If for some reason, that doesn't work. I'll buy one.

Good idea! I will check them. I was really hoping that there was a real good PATCH KIT. Lol

Thanks for replying. I'm guessing also, remove and weld it. Or replace it. It's not easy to get to at all. It's a steel line, magnet sticks right to it. It's such a hairline crack, I can only see it oozing thru the paint. Boy they put a nice coat of paint underneath!!!

Thanks for the reply. I did get it out of the woods. It's in my garage. So glad I saw the leak, and drove her home.

Hi guys, Well now I have created a NEW, PIA PROBLEM. Was in the woods clearing brush. A chunk of wood put a small hairline crack, in my hydraulic line. The one that goes from pump to hydraulic manifold. Any ideas that can repair it, without taking it off. It's just a very small drip at idle...

JUST wanted to UPDATE! Finally got my glow plugs! Installed yesterday, my 1st time! Replaced all 3. Went out and turned the key, light goes on, lite goes off! FIRED like she was supposed to! [emoji122][emoji122] Thanks very much for your input! Great forum here!

Thanks Winston!

2 glow plugs are out. How do I find a part number for glow plugs? Thanks! Terry

AWESOME! THANK YOU! [emoji106]

[emoji106][emoji106] thanks!

Is the preheater relay, built in with the controller? Thanks Terry

No it doesn't look like it. Here's a picture of it.

Hi guys I have a ct225 tractor. Wanting to replace the preheater controller. Mine is a T2198-69051 Where do I order one? Thanks Terry

My glow plug lite on the dash does not go out. I held it for almost 50-60 secs. Then tried to start the tractor. It still did not want to start. Finally did.

Thank you for the manual instructions. I worked at my City's Municipality. We had alot of diesel machines. I guess that's where I got the 5-10 seconds on the glow plugs. I'll head out today to check mine. Thank you again!

Is there a difference of summer fuel to winter fuel?

Yea mine has started no problem all these years. This morning it just cranked & cranked. No fire. And it's just 25° at nite.

How long do you hold till the light goes out? I thought for sure my manual said to hold 5-10 seconds. I've never had my light go out. I will try tomorrow to see if my light goes out. Thanks. Oh it's a 2010.

Hi everyone! My poor CT 225 sits in an unheated shed. No electricity. I've owned it for 12 yrs. Has 730hrs. It has always fired up just fine in the winter. But, just the last 2 months, it's getting harder & harder to start. Almost thought it wasn't going to fire this morning. Battery 3yrs old. I...

No problem here yet, but thanks for the heads up! Getting up to 725hrs. Figured things might start acting up slowly. Hope I didn't just JINX myself! Lol!

That's what I'm looking for!!! Thanks so much!

Thank so much for replying. That's all I could find also. I have the operation & service manual. At work, we have operation & service manuals for our enloaders, bulldozers, backhoes. Then our maintenence guys have Repair Manuals, showing them how to repair something on the machine. Was wondering...

Thanks for your response Winston. I have the thick service manual. When to lube, where to grease, and other specs for the tractor. I'd like a more indepth repair, hydraulic valves, cable changes, etc. Is there one? I've wired up my loader lift up cable, as it broke from a tree limb getting...

Is there a repair manual for the Bobcat CT225? Not a service manual needed Need a repair manual. Thanks for ur help! Terry

Here it is with the STAR marked on it. Broke off at the base. I wrapped baling wire to hold it. I can't tell in the schematics the PART #. Thanks for ur help! In this pic the 2 cables feed up to the joystick. So, the broken piece is facing rear end.

Hi guys, been clearing timber. Log broke the housing that is mounted on the manifold. Can you help me find part to order? Thanks very much! I've wired it closed, to get loader to drop. Terry

Thanks for the input! Yes, not setting up the bush hog properly. I have the top-link drawing it all the way forward to the tractor. I shot another pic of the chain setup on the woods mower. Hopefully a better shot for u to see. Thanks!

Here is my Woods finsh mower. I have the same issues with this! It does have the added chains, so I presume I'm not hooking up correctly, also! Pulling it out of storage, so I stuck a stick across to hold the chain keepers. Thanks for UR help! It's getting to be mowing time!

Here is my King Kutter bushhog

I remember 20 yrs ago or so, a Crane operator telling me, he used a chain rig on the top where the Turnbuckle is. He said it made his bushhog ride up and down with his rollie pollie unflat pasture. I didnt own my lil farm yet, so i paid 1/2 attention to what he was saying, SHAME on ME! My...

Will my 27hp CT225 run a 5' bushog? Looking at buying one. Width on tractor is 56" Thanks Terry

Found out the CT225 isnt work a hoot plowing, on frozen rock, and asphalt road. Tires just slide. I dont have turf tires, mine are the next grade of aggressive. Is the only solution, chains? I have a 55 gallon barrel 3/4 filled concrete inside for back weight. I was hoping it would do better...

I have a 1025R coding 523591.14 Says reverse and forward pedal wiring swapped. Was driving thru yard, when this code popped up. How did my wiring get swapped???? Lol! Now PTO comes on but when going forward or reverse it shuts down the PTO. Anyone else, experience this problem? Thanks very much...

Here it is!

I took an old horse drawn hay rake and mounted it to clamp on to my front bucket. Have to rake in reverse, no problem. But I've broken 3 tines. Anyone know if they still make them? It works great, but hay goes thru spaces where tines broke. Thanks for your help. Terry

Trying to hook up an old Dearborn sickle mower to my CT225. Having one heck of a time rigging it. I used it 1 time on my 8N, back in the day. 6-7 yrs ago. Remember it being a chore to figure then. Wish I took some pics. Is anyone using one? That I could get some pics from you. There's an arm...

Just what my title says. As I posted earlier, my front loader wouldn't lift one. Well I finally bought a 3 point bale attachment to pick up my rounds. As you guys said that's what I need to use. So, is my valve limit set to low. I had to drag them. Thanks for your help. And Merry Christmas! Terry

Ok, my manual says, perform at first 50 hrs, then as scheduled. Done! Then at 100hrs Done! Then at 200 hrs. Done! Next says 400hrs????? I just changed at 290, thinking every 100 hrs. So, actually the book shows....... 8-10,50,100,200,400,800,1000. I'm confused???? Thanks for your help!

Hi guys, oil change time, what do you use? 15-40, 5w-20, 5w-40 synthetic, or standard. I use synthetic, in my cars. Live in Illinois, so not real bad weather. Thanks for your input! Terry

Well, I 've ordered 2 filters from ebay, that they said was the hydrostat filter. WRONGGGG, I got 2 more hydraulic filters, that screw up underneath, the tractor. Drove to NAPA, for a Wix filter. It's not in there computer. So I tried a Kioti, Wix filter. Nope nothing in the computer. So he...

I thought my Lil 225 was good for 1400lbs, lifting. Figured just going 200lbs more she'd lift a round bale of hay off my trailer, NOT HAPPENING! I've always bought 800 lbs. But farmer is going scared selling to much because he has cattle. We went in drought this summer. So my neighbor only bales...

Hydrostat or hydraulic? Came with the tractor Thanks Terry

Time to change hydraulic oil and filters, 1st time. My manual just gives me the viscosity etc of Bobcat oil. Closest to me is 45 miles. Is there an eqevelant oil from Napa, where I will get filters? Thanks in advance! Terry

I have a DUMB question here! What is the Little knob down by your right foot heal, under the seat? It has a turtle and a rabbit, when you turn it one way or the other. Thanks Terry

Just bought an almost new Bobcat Tractor CT225. Want to learn more about it. So I joined here to find out and learn. I'm an equipment Operator for the municipality where I live. Been with them for 20yrs. Have 3 horses, and small farm 9 acres. Needed the tractor for hay, poop, general utility...
