Jake, LOL... Glad it helped ! Merry Christmas! -Shane

Thanks brother !!!!

[@AHandleOnThings]

You bet!

😂 you turned the camera away at the point I needed to see haha. My handle turns 45degrees and feels like it hits a hard stop. I can't pull it up. Does it need to turn a full 90deg? I don't want to try and leave it a bit at 45deg. If it only goes 45, I'll put a little leverage on it

Liked and subbed. Thanks for that. Last night I got stuck in the cab moving snow because the battery which seemed fine died while I had the boom the whole way up and the 753 would not start. Fortunately a friend was there and jump started the Cat so I could lower boom and get out. Would this work in this situation? Also is there a video on emergency exit?

[@AHandleOnThings]

This WOULD have worked in that situation. You will need to be careful about doing it if you have a door on your machine because if the bucket isn't flat when the boom comes down you may get trapped. An emergency exit video is an EXCELLENT idea! I will see about making one! Thanks for the comment and the idea! -Shane

Hey young man; I am looking at an older 751 that the owner has owned since new and somehow it broke, and he tore engine down and found a bad head and piston. Does the hyd release/ bypass work for the drive wheels also? Best; Tom Bailey

[@AHandleOnThings]

That is a very good question. It does NOT release the drive wheels on my machine, but on an older 751 it very well might. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you on that question. Generally speaking the best answer for towing a bobcat any real distance is to pull the side covers and undo the chains. I would have to direct you to your local bobcat shop for an answer. Good luck!
