Replacing the water pump and alternator belt on a 2004 Link Belt 210lx excavator is a fairly easy job. You can do it with 3 wrench sizes; 14, 17, 19mm. The cooling belt Sumitomo part number is 8973105690. If you choose to replace the A/C pump belt at the same time it has a NAPA part number of 25-22461.

I installed the Bobcat backup camera kit (7420941) in my 2023 E42 R2 excavator. It was a quick and fairly simple installation. Tools Needed: 10mm wrench 7/16" wrench 2.5 allen wrench phillips screwdriver small flathead screwdriver

I just bought a brand-new carry over 2023 Bobcat E42 excavator. It has almost all the features you can get on one. It is exactly the same as the 2024 Bobcat E48 excavator just with different stickers.

I just purchased a new old stock 2022 Woodmaxx 84" snowblower in September of 2023. It took 6 weeks from order to delivery. There was a bit of shipping damage that hopefully will not affect the longevity of the unit. It took several hours to assemble due to the damage. I think it is a good looking snowblower and hope it holds up over time.

I installed a block heater on my 2023 Bobcat CT 2025 tractor. It is basically identical to the Kioti CK 2610 tractor. It is an easy and quick install. It took about 45 minutes to complete. Tools required: Bucket to catch the antifreeze Hammer and chisel Emery cloth Pipe tape R 609 retaining compound https://amzn.to/40iOaF5 Optional: Flexible funnel https://amzn.to/45YgGwX

I installed the linked pedal kit on my 2023 Bobcat CT2025, which is the same as the Kioti CK2610 tractor. The process looks a little overwhelming when reading the instructions, but it isn't too bad of a job. You can plan on a good 3hrs to install. The kit part number is: 7378650

I installed the cruise control feature on my 2023 Bobcat CT2025, which is the same as the Kioti CK2610 tractor. It's not a bad job and can be done in just over an hour or so with the right tools and know how. The kit part number is: 7378640

This is a 2004 Link-Belt 210LX excavator with an Isuzu BB-6BG1T engine. The glow-plugs are easy to get to and replace. I do recommend using some penetrating oil and warming the engine up before you attempt to remove the old plugs. A 12mm socket will remove the plugs. The torque range for the new ones is 14-18ft lbs.

I took the Bobcat arm rest for the right side and converted it to a left hand arm rest. It took a little elbow grease to do, but wasn't a hard job. The part number for the right arm rest is: 7378647

This is probably one of the easiest installs I have ever done on pretty much anything. All it takes is a #6 allen wrench and about 2 minutes of time.

It's time for the 200hr service. It includes everything from the 50hr and 100hr services plus a few additional items. The filters needed for the 200hr service are: Hydraulic filter- 6695918 Hydrostatic filter- 7375650 Fuel filter- 7374363 https://rumble.com/v4d2hjo-2023-bobcat-ct2025-kioti-ck2610-50hr-service-plus.html https://rumble.com/v4d2xg0-bobcat-ct2025-kioti-ck2610-tractor-100hr-service.html

It is real simple to add a light to the back of the Bobcat CT2025 tractor. It is already pre-wired and has a mount already installed from the factory. The wires are key on hot, so you will need a switch of some sort to turn the light on and off. The light and switch I used is linked below through Amazon, if you want the same setup as mine.

The 100hr service on my 2023 Bobcat CT2025 tractor is pretty straightforward. It is mainly inspections, no oil or filter changes. It should not take more than 15-20 minutes to do and you will be good for another 50hrs.

I'm installing a Thunderbird Industries Canopy on my 2023 Bobcat CT2025. It's a fairly easy install. All you need is a level, 3/4" and 9/16" wrench, a 3/8" drill bit and drill and a helper. It is a TAP 103 canopy and an MK32 mounting kit.

I try to follow the manufacturer's service schedule, however when I don't it is usually because I have chosen to do items sooner than recommended. On the 50hr service I do what the book recommends plus the engine oil and filter and a complete greasing. The filter part numbers are as follows: Hydraulic Filter- 6695918 Hydrostatic Filter- 7375650 Engine Oil Filter- 7384298 Fuel Filter- 7374363 Air Filter- 6666333 Transcript

Here is a quick look at the newest member of my compact tractor family.

I finally reached 300hrs after 13 months of ownership. I have had an inordinate number of issues with this tractor in that time. I involved Bobcat Corp. a couple of months back. At this point they have decided that it is going to take an extensive tear down to hopefully figure out what is the problem with this tractor. With the fact that they cannot guarantee that they will find the problem, they have chosen to offer a full buy back. I am seriously considering taking their offer.

This is my 200hr review. Most of the items I still have the same sentiment for as in my 100hr review: https://rumble.com/v4cunuf-bobcat-tractor-100hr-review-likesdislikes.html • Bobcat Tractor 100hr Review Likes/Dis... There are a couple of additional comments that I hadn't experienced yet in this review. My apologies. I know I said I was going to keep it short, which I did compared to the 100hr review, but it is still a long video. If you make it all the way through you are a trooper and thanks for your support.

This is the 200hr service on my CT5555 tractor. It is not a difficult task. However is fairly messy one, so make sure and have catch pans and a lot of rags. You will be replacing the air, fuel, hst and hydraulic filters, inspecting all the hoses and hydraulic lines and checking the front axle toe in. The filter numbers are as follows: Air- 6666375 Fuel- 7380039 HST- 7002299 Hydraulic- 7379332 Depending on how quick you are on the hydraulic filter change you shouldn't need more than 2 gallons of hydraulic fluid.

I contacted Bobcat Customer Service through the Bobcat website. They were responsive in what I consider a timely manner. It motivated my local dealership to at least act as though I was important to them. The issues with my tractor have not been resolved as of yet, but they are working on them. I feel that without contacting Bobcat Customer Service I would not be getting the attention that I feel I deserve from my local dealer. I highly recommend using the Bobcat website for any issues you might be having.

I installed a block heater on my CT5555 tractor. The Bobcat Kit number is 7388933. You will need a catch basin, a little over 2 gallons of antifreeze, hammer, pick type tool, pry bar, approximately 15/16 heavy wall socket with extension, pipe tape and Loctite 609 compound.

My CT5555 has a 5-position ignition switch. This switch has 2 positions that will turn the glow plugs on. For Manual Glow Plugs you turn the spring-loaded switch back to the Glow Plug position and hold until you have run them to your satisfaction or the glow plug timer turns them off, whichever is first. The ON position on the ignition switch, if left for more than a couple seconds, will initiate the Auto Glow Plug system. The Auto Glow Plug system will determine the engine coolant temperature and then turn the glow plugs on for a predetermined amount of time in relation to the coolant temp.

I replaced the fuel pump in my 2013 John Deere Gator RSX 850i. Here is a list of the parts I used and that can be additionally used if you are so inclined. Parts I used: AUC11498- fuel pump AUC11783- regulator AUC11782- hanger AUC11164- wiring harness UC13884- clip UC16096- fuel filter UC13372- clamp M174818- hose clamp (5) Additonal Parts to tie in vent line: 14M7444- nut M170554- washer M168967- elbow fitting R56101- clip UC24981- hose M169001- fitting

This is a review of my 2nd 2022 CT5555 tractor. If you follow my channel, you know that my first Bobcat tractor (2020) was a disaster and I replaced it with this tractor. As of now I am glad to report that this tractor is a much better one.

I have owned a 2021 and 2022 Bobcat CT5555. I did an initial break-in oil change on my 21 at 200hrs (as the maintenance manual states) and an initial oil change on my 22 at 50hrs. The oil samples for both came back with elevated levels, however, the 200hr sample was off the charts high on wear metals. This is a comparison video showing the differences.
