I Bought the CHEAPEST skid steer I could find. Let's fix this neglected mess! (part 1)

I found this cheap #bobcat 610 on Craigslist. It was run hard and needs some love. Let's revive this old beast!
Part 2 - • Tractor restoration! L...

Just because a drill has a haul ass speed don't mean to use it in every case.. drill bits will cut better and last longer at a low speed. Yes it takes a bit longer, but it will save on bits. Also when drilling a large hole, use a center punch to mark your drilling spot and use a smaller bit to create a pilot hole, then use the larger bit. This will eliminate walking and make a more precise hole.

O and it holds 20 gallons of hydraulic oil if u drained it all there's a level plug next to the drain plug..

[@DanielJensen-lp1jp]

I have a 610 bobcat runs doesn't turn right very well found a woodruff key on right side when changing hydraulic fluid and filter when I bought it in 2017 has the quick attachment, has bucket,newer hydraulic hoses. I'm in Iowa 3k

[@dishtech43]

hook your hoses up first!! on backhoe,, and use backhoe too move it where you need it. your doing hard way.

[@rustyassets]

some of the hoses are blown/broken. That won't work with replacing them first.

[@andrewtiefry5990]

Wisconsin engines are extremely reliable and great old engines

[@giggitygiggitygoofg6069]

I hope you mean $3250.00

[@Vinny00754]

No way it can be anything else. He mentions not wanting to drop 40k so 32,500 is way to close for that thing as far as I know what one could get for 40k.

Get a peace of pipe one size bigger then crome part of the celander and split it in half for the safety and stop getting out of it running that flanal shirt get u hurt

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

No ECM, no DEF or emissions BS to worry about. Throw an eBay turbo on it! Very nice find. Give it some TLC.

[@ThePennylanefarm]

Great vid. I agree that you should not be between a rock and a hard spot. To install hoe, get close and park it. Get out hook up the hydraulics to the hoe and use the hoe to lift and position its self in place. You should be able to stand clear while you do so. Or at least have an exit path. That is the way I install and remove a full size hoe on a back hoe to change hoses etc. Great buy really, if your handy. Do not worry about the rust on the arm cylinders, if they are all the way down and the rust is outside the cylinder it will not matter. The Wisconsin motors are actually very good motors, had a few of them. Tune it up, points and check valve clearance etc. This should be a fun machine for you. Lots to be said for the older stuff. God bless

[@rustyassets]

Great tip on the back hoe! Thanks for watching!

[@ncut5547]

The hydraulic filter is washable so u can clean it up n put it back ....just a note there's a small lever beside the seat on the left side if u pull it back it should slow it down for forward and reverse...I've got 1 it works good u won't stop the oil from going milky unless u change out all the hydraulic cylinders that's how most of it gets in the water and also if u run it through lots of water it gets in through the axle shafts ...good luck

[@michaelkoon8371]

I think light green this would make it look pretty cool looking I think

[@LyleBrand]

good grief it i a40 year old machine hat do you epect you probably diidnt give too much for it.

[@LyleBrand]

It i not ecen hydrotatic it i gear bely and clutch drive.

[@doughboy1966]

Anyone else expecting the drill to get ran over? Caterpillar yellow for the color.

[@rustyassets]

haha! Yep, I almost lost that drill. Oh well, it's a DeWalt.

[@DanielJensen-lp1jp]

Caterpillar yellow w/cage and rims black you can get the Bobcat stickers to put on where that Crack is

[@hollandduck79]

hello from the Netherlands . thanks for the video . Sincerely Hollandduck

[@TheDistur]

I love Wisconsin engines. Tough old things.

[@bkyardmechanic5010]

White I'd say. Good job

[@stevenpierno9793]

That was kinda awesome, I called it out right before you said it, a decade for the fuel filter! thanks for the chuckle

[@ismaelantoniovelez]

You should paint machine gold

[@renkemam]

Very good content. I have an Bobcat 553 with a backhoe to be mounted. Needs to be painted as well. I go for the white/orange Bobcat combination. Mine is from 2004, yours a bit older, did you already found the type? Belt driven in stead of drive-motors like mine?

[@rustyassets]

Yeah, it's a belt driven 610. Thanks for the comment!

[@ronaldclark2624]

Yellow is good. Ron PTL USA

[@nicholasproietto2500]

Watching them load the skid steer on that trailer was painful. I have a similar car hauler flatbed, and I installed two of those weld on removable trailer jacks to keep the trailer from tipping just like the trailer did here. He's lucky he wasn't on a hill, that skid loader could've caused the rear end of the truck to lift up and start moving. Not good.

[@rustyassets]

The trailer didn't "tip". The tractor wheels were getting stuck in the ramps and made it hard to drive it straight

[@danielgrinter2592]

Love the content 👌 even here across the pond 🇬🇧

[@rustyassets]

Thanks for watching!!

[@furtherwest9290]

In most cases the backhoe attachment mounts to the bucket attachment plate. then you use the hydraulics to mount the hooks to the backhoe.
