Hey, I recently acquired a 2018 t740. First issue I noticed was the fuel sensor was broken. Dove into the machine and found out it's because half the drive belt separated and took out the fuel sender electrical harness. So I ordered a new belt and tensioner wheel since there was play in the...

I often see used bobcat parts on vanderhaags.com. They have parts for a t300 on their website, but I don't see any joysticks. Perhaps they didn't create a listing for them but they're available.

Hey Mike, what about foot controls?

Hey, so I don't have an operators manual for my LS180. Does it have a float position for backdragging? I pushed the boom foot pedal to the forward detent, and it's activating the aux hydraulics (the right hand handle actuates). You can hear the hydraulic motor powering the aux hydraulics...

To anyone that has to take off their injection pump in the future, here's a picture of the tools I made to time the engine/pump. I don't really have metal working tools, at least not precision ones, so I made the piston position tool and timing pointer out of wood. The gear puller doesn't have...

False alarm, some how my hydraulic filter spun itself loose, so I lost most of my hydraulic fluid. About 6-7 gallons later, I was good. Oops.

Aux* not six

Hey all, my woes continue with this weathered machine. Today I was running the brush cutter with my LS180, and I took a break midday cause it started to rain. I came back to my machine an hour later, ran the brush cutter for 5-10 min, and then in the middle of cutting I lost drive, six...

Turned out to be the 5a ignition fuse. I forgot that I had replaced it with a mini blade fuse cause that’s all I had at the time, and the mini blade got knocked out.

Also, all cab and engine bay fuses are fine.

They said basically everything in the pump needed to be replaced. Lots of rust. Oh well, now it works at least! I'm running into a small electrical issue now. It was running fine for the past day, drove it around the yard fine. After I did a couple of fast spins, it died like it lost fuel. I...

Just got all my parts back from the shop. Rebuilt injection pump to the tune of $1350. I'm pretty livid after the shop said "I can't say for certain how much it will cost, but around $400-600". The shop also provided me with the complete head gasket set, which was nice, but I see I was billed...

When it comes time to reassembly this bad boy, do I need new head, exhaust, and intake gaskets. What about the head bolts? If so I should get those on order now.

Nevermind, found the locking screw right where it should have been. It was just smaller than I expected, and partially covered in dirt. I got the injection pump locked and removed. I'll take some pictures of the process later... might help out a newbie like myself in the future.
