Bobcat MT100: Hydrostatic Belt Replacement

[@Kyetin]

Thanks for helping me fix my bobcat I now don’t have to carry sticks at work

Good video. Pretty dirty in that engine bay. Maybe degreaser and power washer time

[@sethmeashey3219]

I second the dirty interior, im sure you know but there is a panel on the bottom you can remove and wash it out.. if you get too much dirt under the oil pan it can wear a hole through. Just a suggestion, and great job doing the belt yourself, that looked like a PITA!

Thank you, I will be sure to power wash the machine this year. I hate that residual dirt too. Really I need to get some quality time with the power washer for about 10 hours because a lot of my equipment is getting buildup like this.

Another great video Eddy!

I'm glad you found value in it, thanks for watching!

Next time just remove the muffler and you can access the 2 pump bolts from the top.A hell of a lot faster than removing the reservoir and you dont have to worry about losing hydraulic fluid

[@easyeddystrees]

That's awesome it never occurred to me. Is this a repair you've done before?

@@easyeddystrees We probably have done about 40 since 2016.Customers and our our rental machines

@@jrac863 I should have called you haha! That would have saved me at least an hour or two.

@@jrac863 What causes that breakage? I had the feeling it was cause by something internal to the pumps, that electrical feature that won't let you move the hydraulics until the system builds pressure? Or possibly wear and tear on the tensioner?
