You might want to try your local auto parts store and take a piece of the old one with you. They may be able to order the correct size. That looks like the stuff that used to be used in the roll up window frame of cars. The cars these days I think use rubber instead of felt. That also may be...

If you have the older style panel, press and hold the lights button to get any codes. Not sure how to get the codes from the newer style panel.

I always take a look at the parts schematic when I need to figure things out. Here is the link: https://partscatalog.bobcat.com/

The fuel pickup tube should be long enough to rest on the bottom of the tank. It should also have a screen/check valve on the end of it that also helps keep the end of the tube at the bottom of the tank. A fuel hose can curl up and float. You could also have something clogging the fuel pickup...

Attached is an older control valve manual. Hope it helps.

I’m not sure about this type of breather valve. A regular PVC you can just shake and all of the parts should rattle freely. A PVC is just a spring and plunger that work from engine vacuum. The plunger should move freely since the spring is not that strong. These valves are cheap enough that...

Glad to hear you found it. Some electrical problems take forever to find and fix. Bad wires inside harnesses are a nightmare.

I had mirrors on my 742B that were mounted to the inside of the cage in a similar position but higher. They worked pretty well and I didn't have to fold them in while operating the machine. I also had a rear view mirror attached to the roof to see out the back window.

I believe that machine has in-line filters, one for each drive motor. I would change them out and see if the problem persists. Make sure to open and chech the old filters for any unusual debris. These filters are always neglected since a lot of people don’t know they exist.

Whenever I see multiple codes like this I think electrical short. This could be anywhere in the electrical causing false codes. I would start with checking and cleaning all fuses and fuse connections, relays, battery terminals and grounding points. Look for any rub throughs and or loose...

Start with the simple…check your fuses and relays.

Your oil cooler or the hoses going to the oil cooler.

So you are talking about the heat shield. I took a quick look online and I don’t think that part is available anymore. The breather cap itself is still available though. You should be able fabricate something to replace the heat shield. I’m not sure what type of insulation was used but I’m sure...

There should not be any paper in a PVC valve. Maybe someone replaced the breather with a paper filter? There should be a breather on that engine, part number 6666749. Here is a link to the parts manual: https://partscatalog.bobcat.com/

It can take a little while for all of the air to bleed out of the system. For now, I would just run the machine forward and back a little and then see if there are bubbles in the hydraulic tank. If there are, this is the air bleeding out. Wait for the bubbles to go away. Check the hydraulic...
