I had one of those bobcats, I repowered mine with a predator vtwin,and it worked great, sold mine to a local farmer with a chicken house farm, he enclosed the cab and put ac on it. Nice little unit

[@MinimaxDieselDude]

I was wondering if a Predator would power that thing , that's awesome

[@K5ALLEN]

@@MinimaxDieselDude most of those units only had a 16hp vanguard from the factory, mine would spin the tires if you over loaded the bucket, I wish I had pics of the red dot ac install that the new owner done

[@MinimaxDieselDude]

Wow , I figured they would need more power for the hydraulics tbh , for that guy to stick AC in it too is pretty impressive .

[@K5ALLEN]

@@MinimaxDieselDude it can be miserable in south Mississippi summers in a poop / ammonia smelling chicken house. The red dot roof top ac pulls about 15 amps, the little belt drive sandon compressor doesn’t pull much hp, the little bobcat is extremely narrow and can work in tight spaces. I think the predator is rated for 22hp

[@tommyw.9424]

@@MinimaxDieselDude Vanguard engines didn't exist yet when the 440/440B/Farmboys were made, they came from the factory with an 18hp Kohler Magnum flat twin. We've had one on the farm since 1986. The 18 is plenty of power, still runs great and is a little animal for cleaning horse stalls.

[@donjensen6805]

Bobcat 440 B's engine is a Kohler M-18QS. This is an air-cooled twin-cylinder, gasoline engine that produces 18 horsepower. The engine's displacement is 42.19 cubic inches. Its rated operating capacity is 600 lbs. The engine has the Bobcat Interlock Control System (BICS) that requires the skid steerer operator to be seated with the seat bar in place and engine running before the hydraulic system and traction system can be engaged. The engine provides a top speed of 5.8 mph for the skid steerer.

[@MrTrip3ace]

Those 440 bobcats are pretty rare. Only made for a few years in the 80's. I believe they came with a 16hp kohler 2 cylinder. Sweet find. It would be fun sticking a 2 cylinder diesel in it.

[@tommyw.9424]

Eh, not too rare. The Farmboy model is the rare one, it's basically a stripped 440 with different decals. Kohler Magnum 18 power.

Now that’s history right there! Back in the years of 1986-1994. An old Melroe Clark Bobcat! Absolutely loving the Will It Start videos from you Bruce. Can’t wait to see more of this skid steer and the other Will It Start videos to come!

[@stevenlatham4397]

Don’t underestimate those little machines, you can make a lot of money with them. I have a Case 1816B that has came in handy just as many times at my T300. I love those little machines.

[@Bump1972]

Yep , I have an 1818 and it’s proven itself over and over again

[@stevenlatham4397]

@@Bump1972 Case really had it together with their baby loaders. They have responsive steering, powerful hydraulics, and were severely under-rated. I know mine easily lifts 200 pounds more than the book says. Excellent machines. I wish I had an 1818 too lol.

[@gregsabados3762]

It could be an Onan, Wisconsin or Kohler missing out of that Bobcat, probably 16 to 18 HP. Melroe was the parent company of Bobcat way back when.

[@purepolaris9]

I worked at Bobcat assembling the S70 which is very similar and those had 3 cylinder Kabota diesels in them. Fun little machines

[@skylergallant1484]

Look for a “reefer unit” off of a freezer truck. A lot of them have mini Yanmar or Isuzu diesels in them. There’s one for sale here in Maine for $500 with a .66L Yanmar diesel 11.2 HP (engine model TK3.66). Great option for small cheap Diesel engines

[@mopar_man74]

Put a diesel in it. I think it's a very nice little machine. Can't wait to see it running. Always enjoy your videos. Please keep sharing.

[@jayss10]

Had one of those on the old farm as a kid. We had a 100 year old dairy farm and some of the aisles were too narrow for newer machines so you would have to clean out the heifer pen by hand pushing the manure into the old Badger barn cleaner. That little 440 sure was a back saver.

[@jameshealan3540]

We cleaned horse stalls with ours. Time saving.

[@justastocklbaez4865]

Just a friendly reminder to everyone. If you own a reach fork. The extend and retract chains need to be tighted periodically. Or when you hit the brakes the boom or booms with roll out and then roll back in. Mr. Waynes gth 636 is an example of untightened chains
