Fixing and Driving an old bobcat skid steer out of the woods

[@c0br4c0mm4nd3r]

Hands down one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on KZbin. The resurrection of a skid steer that had a tree growing out of it. Gives me hope for the future of America. Show them how it’s done, young man!!!

[@TheNaturalWayFullCircle]

Kudos to you dude! You did all the right things! except you missed pulling the choke out, so that's why it took so long to start. I'm sure you figured that out by now. You have a lot of good skills. I have a 610 and it took me a long while to learn it, learn how to adjust points, etc etc. Its a good machine. The drive chains will break though when you push it hard with a lot of weight in the bucket. I'm buying a #40 chain from USA Roller Chains and Sprockets right now...strongest one I could find. I put an electric fuel pump couple yrs ago. Now to replace fuel hoses with custom bent lines. I recommend adding the expensive oil additive (like Prolong), that's what I do. This engine will live forever. Mine still runs great. I just have to blow out the carb like twice a season bc I think the paper gasket (or bits of rubber hose) get past the filter and clog the orfices. Runs great everytime though if you keep the points adjusted. I can send you the service manual if you want it.

Great to see young people with the skills, tenacity and work ethic doing things like this. More power to you chap. Cheers Ian

[@holyhellfireonblitz5208]

That machine definitely thought it had seen the last of its days...so glad you are giving it another life! She's got a lot left in her!

[@gerry-p9x]

What. Year 😮😮

[@rbbarnby108]

Good job.. It is nice to see a youngster like you with the mechanical skills to get old iron like this running again..

[@kevinthemechanicproinvento9655]

I have fixed something similar. my dad had this old 1987 bobcat 741. I fixed it with tons of issues with the hydraulic system. It didn’t move until I flushed the whole system and rebuilt the right drive motor. I’m only 13.

[@VTD88]

The way that little thing backed out of it's spot, covered in overgrowth and stuff was actually a little adorable. The lights almost look like little wonky eyes... I love little machines

[@DarkMageGuy]

Cutting to you watering the plants got me good. Im so excited to see this thing all fixed up!

[@lumpy1603]

That had me dying 😂

[@williamwhite9321]

Amazing to see those machines come back to life thanks for sharing

[@ralphnorris-vk8ff]

I owned a 610 for years! Been kicking myself for years for selling it. Now I'm using a 763 that is not half the machine my 610 was. The only thing on the 610 was the air cooled engine. If you use it in brush a lot, the air passes will get plugged and it will over heat. There is a heat sensor on a head bolt that will shut the engine off if it over heats. Sometimes people take them off, so be sure that sensor is on it and working. Good machine that will do a lot of work!

[@jamesheina6952]

Nice... its feels realy nice to bring a machine back to life after being abandoned or/neglected... i think that engine is wisconsin.

[@cmleoj]

Driving onto that trailer like a boss. That was cool to see.

[@davidenorth]

Recently found your channel. Loving these rescues of old equipment and trucks.

[@jerrys9226]

I have the same machine, M-610, that I bought new in 1975. Still have it and still running strong. The only thing I’ve done to the engine besides points and spark plugs is head gaskets. Those Wisconsin VH 4D engines are great. I just repainted it and you can still get the original decals for it online.

[@StockyG437]

I love your vids man. Truly puts a smile on my face when you say things like “go join your friend” to a screw😂

[@spacejunkie84119]

Outstanding! keep on keeping them alive. Great channel young man.

[@BradenBuildz]

Thank you 🙏

[@marty0715yt]

I had a 510 that Bobcat couldn't believe . I took the data plate off and showed them. I had the Kohlar 2 cylinder. They make repower kits with Honda as the source. That is a wet clutch with chains in oil and a variable drive belt driven.I used it to death but it just got too old for parts. I bought a 257 track Cat with ASV undercarriage. I got tired of flat tires. I like Cat with the inline engines and easy acess to the motor. Bobcat was sold to Korea a long time ago. Good Luck. I was amased you got that started.

I'm ready, let's see it. Can't wait. Love watching.

[@philiplantz-us5fe]

Those 610's deserve respect, Tough machine!

[@willtricks9432]

I have a 70s 610 Bobcat with a Deutz Diesel in it. great tool.

[@skywatcherranchswr]

I'm amazed at how lucky you get on these machines. I would find a skid steer with a locked engine and rusted together drivetrain 🤣

[@BradenBuildz]

Ohh trust me. There are lots of videos I make that just don’t make it to KZbin because the project ends up being too far gone. Or I’ll bring something a long ways and something catastrophically fails. lol I get burnt a lot but I don’t post those because then everyone wants me to rebuild or restore whatever it may be and I just don’t have the patience or interest to do all that. If I fully restored everything I brought home I would still be making videos on the 1980 scout I brought home awhile ago and to me that’s just boring. I like keeping it fresh with new stuff

[@skywatcherranchswr]

@BradenBuildz even though some of them don't make it to youtube, you're attempting to fix things most people wouldn't even try. Kudos to you for that 👏 there's keyboard mechanics and then there's folks like you who actually do it lol

[@MrStuffdude]

"go join your friend" - I felt that.

[@Theragecheaterlolz]

Your channel is extremely underatted.

[@studiohermited7052]

[@kestutisb5053]

good video, without any flower, all real - dirty ruaty, oily, reality, you got hands and the spirit, i believe you will fix it🙂

[@NellaMola]

thanks for keeping your videos so dynamic and engaging! ⚡

[@localcrew]

Wisconsin W4-1770 engine with 35 horses of fury. I worked with a guy who had the tiniest of Bobcat skid steer loaders. Powered by an 18hp Kohler twin. He used it for building demolition. They’re also popular for mucking stalls.

[@GreenAidan]

This is the best advertisement for Bobcat I have ever seen it's It's been in the woods for who knows how long and still runs

[@Elliotfan09]

The shot at the end with the sun setting, music playing, and the rusty machine on the trailer. The wind blowing the grown in weeds and trees is, actually a weirdly romantic shot

[@randythayer8440]

OK, that's "interesting".

[@ClaytonHartin]

Love videos!! Since your at harbor freight already buy some grade 70 chains and 2 ratcheting chain binders please. 2” strap won’t work if it’s over a sharp edge. It will slowly slice the strap and cops can give you a ticket for it. DOT Tip (Anything over 10,000lbs on a trailer for equipment needs 4 points of securement. Anything under 10,000lbs needs 2 points of securement.) just an FYI if you ever get pulled over by county or state patrol. Let’s say you are hauling a mini excavator weights less than 10,000lbs you will need your 2 point securement AND you need to secure the bucket as DOT says because it’s an “attachment” so that also need to be chained down. Anything that’s an attachment to a piece of equipment also has to be chained down. Like a skid steer bucket, mini excavator buckets. Backhoe front bucket and rear bucket is an attachment. So basically you have to carry (5) grade 70 chains and 5 ratcheting chain binders. If you don’t know what grade chains are and the weight rating of chains just do some googling. Grade 70 is your standard DOT transport chain. You can get away with 3/8 chains and 3/8-1/2 chain binders. With that you would be set for life. (Working load) limit of (1) 3/8 grade 70 chain is 6,600lbs.

[@BradenBuildz]

It was about a 15min drive but yeah. I’ve ripped straps on sharp edges before. It weighs about 4000lb.

[@ClaytonHartin]

@@BradenBuildz no worry’s just giving your tips if you haven’t already known about the DOT regulations. Every now and then you have to break some rules to get stuff done 😁😁

[@robertvannicolo4435]

I can't believe you got that old Wisconsin running when they sit valves will stick very expensive to work on parts wise

[@jerrywhidby.]

I just wish I had the knowledge to do this. It's fun watching you make these finds and bring them back to life. I always wonder what kind of deals you get on these.

[@BradenBuildz]

If I can’t sell it and make a profit on it I simply don’t buy it. That goes for just about everything I buy except for fast food lol. Just a mind set I’ve developed. Some call it “being tight”. I will never ever buy something with debt unless it’s real estate.

I have an M610 that has sat since 2005. Maybe one day I will try and get it running again!
