Installing a bobcat drive motor

[@TheJasomwg]

Classic one liners by Andrew Camarata..."If you want to know how this comes apart...watch the video in reverse"..the man is a LEGEND!

[@andreakeeling9217]

Thank you to KZbin for showing me a world of real people I can tolerate outside of my familiar realm. I love to see good hard working people who care about their jobs and friends and family. Thank you God for Andrew and his friends and family. I needed to see all his videos and enjoy their show of love and support.

[@juaresgirolleta]

ANDREW SHOULD BE AGE MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED YEARS ACCORDING TO THE SKILLS IT HAS, ELECTRIC, MECHANICAL, COMPUTING, CIVIL CONSTRUCTION, ENVIRONMENT, NAUTICAL, LOGISTICS AND OTHER THOUSANDS OF PROFESSIONS ... congratulations andrew camarata .... was the one best find of my 65 years !!

[@TheScoop8013]

You are one hard working dude, and with a good sense of humor! Would love to have you as a friend .

[@mechanicojoe]

Nice! Good to see this 22 year old machine still working. I've had to rebuild the char-lynn motors on our Bobcat MT50, nothing scarier than climbing under a machine that could kill you in an instant!

[@kenball8526]

Hey Andrew, I appreciate you talking about the diagnosis process.. thanks for taking time to do it.

[@Austin-316]

You're always on top of the maintenance. Keep up the good work.

[@saneauto]

Thank you Andrew. The symptoms you described are the same as my 642 right side. I would like to rebuild the drive motor on the right side and film it. Since I rebuilt transmissions for over 25 years it should be no problem. But only if I can find the parts. I will of course film it and upload to my Repair playlist. Ill be sure to give you a shout out in the Video.

[@timcollins1131]

Thanks for the video, always nice to see you at work Andrew, a great reminder that life and business requires maintenance.

[@garethjudd5840]

You got to love that Bobcat build quality. Best in the world. 😂

[@андрейроманов-ь2ц]

II am writing from Russia to you an interesting life, I ride it myself, I’m breaking it myself and I don’t give it to anyone, but when the computers threw out my heart almost stopped

[@VasE1980]

Аналогичные чувства испытал)))

[@AquaPeet]

I know Andrew doesn't like computers in cars or machines... maybe he's going on the internet analog now! :-D

[@regsparkes6507]

Good job, and finally, a man who uses a 'real' impact wrench. No more waiting for air to build up in a compressor,..and have to drag out air hose, making sure that there is no moisture in the air line's in cold weather especially. I like those tire/wheel combo's. You'll get your money's worth from these, I'm sure.

[@laymanspc]

Did you ever work for FedEx or UPS? You handle those Dell PCs like a professional FedEx/UPS guy! Best part is you delivered them where they really belong. :D

[@85square]

lol

[@Raphael_246]

Im glad I found this comment. In his new video about all the cars he's ever owned, he plays clips from high school where him and his friends drive over a bunch of computers lol

[@AndrewCamarata]

I worked for usps

[@jmichaelpatrick8573]

I’m glad you bothered to film and post because I love all your great video’s / stay safe

[@carytowncat]

I had no idea the drive motors were so small. Very cool.

[@MrRoberoni117]

Andrew.. I need you to tackle a complete rebuild on a drive motor so I can play your video while I do my own! Ha! Thanks for sharing .

[@jmichaelpatrick8573]

I love your zip tie idea / I always used colored electrical tape but now I’m using your technique

[@jasonnaso8175]

I got those hard tires on my JD318E. While great on hard packed surfaces, they cripple the machine on anything loose. You basically give up all floatation. I was fortunate that the dealer took them back. Wouldn’t use them anywhere but a salvage yard.

[@juantransportador]

HELLO, from chihuahua mexico, thank you for the video and it is funny when you say, if you want to see me taking this off, just play the video in reverse, thank you and GOD bless you and your family.

[@firstgan114]

Lol, that was funny mate as well as being true,"If you wanna see how I took this off just play it in reverse" lol.

[@Logjam5]

Looks good with the new shoes.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

It's not that many but I'm not familiar with average pump life. I can only speak for myself but I like your maintenance videos.

[@gregfisher216]

I would imagine you go through a good bit of hydraulic fluid! Your videos inspire me to try and fix my own stuff !

[@richardm1631]

Little TLC those skidsteer last a long time so keep up good work

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

My takeuchi jammed up, but it wasn't the hydo part to the track motor, it was the gear set. No replacements, or parts availability for units over 15 years old. So I took it apart, removed the chunks, and filed the bent stuff out of the housing. Takeuchi was willing to sell me two new units (As the speeds wouldn't match what the current models ran at.) I passed as I'm not made of fucking money.

[@AndrewCamarata]

They available aftermarket? Or look for used? If not maybe make another part fit, or make the parts that are needed?

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Andrew Camarata The planetary’s lost some teeth, and proceeded to bend up a few of the softer housing ring teeth. The oem no longer offered anything close, and my machine was just about worth the price of buying one track motor, much less two. So I would have popped for one, but I could’ve justify anything past that. None of the local shops worked on anything small, and I really couldn’t give up the machine to mail it around with out a timeline. I got it working, and sold it after I bought my kubota excavator. (The new owner was well aware of the defect, I showed him my videos on the track motor repair.) But it really shied me away from buying a Takeuchi in the future.

[@BorisFett]

I've never owned or operated a bobcat. Good to know info if i decide to get one. I reallly like the multiple angles you shoot the same scene with. You must spend allot of time making these videos.

[@randylee249]

Play it in reverse I wish that worked in real life. I like your Castle your videos and your work.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thanks

[@madox76]

While simple those of us without big boy toys like bobcats still find it interesting.

@4:45, waiting for the flood of know-it-all comments saying: "You didn't tighten those lug nuts in the correct pattern!!!!!"

[@CraigEngbrecht]

I was about to add one... My papa always told me, star pattern. :P

[@85square]

and he didnt use an impact socket...

[@02mp9696]

And at 2 mph, you don't worry about wheels falling off 🤣

[@zachwilhite5344]

Landfill: Any Paint, Solvents, Televisions, or Computers? Yeah, 4 Computers... Landfill: Okay, that'll be 17,000 dollars, boss!

[@AndrewCamarata]

Yeah right, got to know where to bring stuff. The place where I bring trash for $100 a ton which is cheap, wants $25 per tire. That's crazy, many places charge $2 to take a tire. Computers are mostly metal, so I throw them in with the scrap. But the other dump also takes electronics for free.

[@BarnStangz]

Nice video Andrew. The new corded impact looks nice, I have a cordless Milwaukee (Milwaukee 2763-22 M18) that is a beast, I know you're probably close to a wall plug all the time time, but it might not be a bad investment to get a battery powered one... I know you like your new battery powered grease gun!

[@wallyklw5]

Loving those orange wheels

[@masshole1373]

Tossing those computers looked fun ahahah, so satisfying smashing electronics!

[@BarnStangz]

Those were some OLD ass Dell Dimensions. I bet they were Pentium 4 or worse, not worth saving, however it is good to separate the aluminum and steel. I also try to recycle the plastics.

[@davidmathay7117]

Hopefully, he pulled the hard drives out too.

Always good stuff Andrew.

[@daveguffey9024]

Your my hero....play it in reverse!!!

[@Jimo225]

Did you check your drive chains lately? I have a bobcat 773 with 6000 hours and took cover off to check oil level and my drive chains are so loose they touch the bottom of the chaincase. Bobcat said once they start slapping the chaincase its timeto replace them before they break and cause more damage. Im wondering if they can be replaced without removing the sprokets by maybe cutting them then tying the new chain to the old one and pull the old one out as the new one goes around the sproket. Instead of doing 10 times more work and removing axles and sprokets etc.

[@AndrewCamarata]

I have not, I'm selling that Bobcat, the thing is broken more than it works.

[@TimMcArdle]

That had to been a trip running that with one control reversed!

[@lennymondragon8887]

very good video friend is very original as well as instructive

[@rogerboudreau8496]

Well done Camarata !!

[@clgraham82]

I use the colored zip ties on all my hydraulic hoses...good tip!

[@gasperajdnik5627]

Love the workshop 😎

[@megape95]

Andrew, you are having a lot of trouble with these bobcat's how in the world are you having 2 drivemotors (on the tracked one) rebuilt within 2900 hours. Poclain drivemotors on the small sized "knikmops" seem to last 8000 hours or more. Even without changing the hydraulic oil every 1000 hours. And they have 4 of them. Greetings from a machinery machanic. If you ever have questions, feel free to send a message.

[@johnnelson8956]

You need a set of impact sockets with your impact wrench. That socket that you were using will break. I had one explode under a high torque load.

[@AndrewCamarata]

I've been using those for years, no problems yet.

[@figmojustfigmo3820]

Simple fix but glad you made the video. Because now I know it's simple. Thanks! Where did you get it rebuilt? Local shop or send it away somewhere?

[@AndrewCamarata]

Yeah, that guy is local who did that one.

[@matthewschliesser3835]

Andrew, I just watched this video again since you posted fixing your friends Bobcat video the other day.. Did you sell your 2 bobcats then?!? I've been wanting to buy a skid steer and you convinced me to NOT buy a bobcat..... Thanks for all of your videos and the effort that you put in them...

[@AndrewCamarata]

Yes I did, sold these two broken. All they did was break.

[@matthewschliesser3835]

@@AndrewCamarata I thought you probably did. And i hope your "friend" returns your calls and pays you what he owes you... I hate when people you think you can trust never want to pay up. It's bit me a couple times.

[@יעקובאינורס]

Older Bobcats Ingersoll Rand years good. Doosan now owns them . Doosan pretty good machines.

[@michaelovitch]

It's an old video or you are late on the oil change ? you had those same wheels already previously. I got my actual computer case in a dumpster,the reverse way you dumped thos ones lol. I still have it more than 12 years later.

[@joebarbjb6668]

Do you still have your 10 wheel dump? I thought I saw it during so drone footage. Do you use it much? Thanks great video.

[@tbirdracefan]

Is there just on drive motor per side or one for each wheel? Seems like you are doing much more work on the wheeled loader since getting the tracked one. Loved the comment about playing the video in reverse!

[@AndrewCamarata]

One motor per side. Thanks

[@stanpatterson5033]

Ouch. Kind of hurts to watch the compukers getting thrown down. I assume they were beyond salvation? If not before, pretty sure they were after.

[@AndrewCamarata]

They were broken, I could fix them, but they were too old and worthless. I was fixing them and selling them for a while, but you cant even give away a computer like that now.

your videos are great ,your a top mechanic, does the bobcat run a twin hydraulic pump setup or a single one , i have on a hyd system diagnosed a worn hydraulic pump in the same way by doing what you have done swapped the left and right drive pump hoses over (fault moved from l/h track to r/h track) are you a mechanic or have you taught yourself? im a car mechanic and changed to heavy equipment

Thanks, less going on in the winter.

[@rickie178]

What viscosity hydraulic fluid do you run in the drive motors? I just bought an older 643 and having problems finding any good maintenance videos. Love your videos!

[@AndrewCamarata]

Put tractor fluid in it.

[@kraiglorenzen1728]

How do you know that the hydraulic front pump for the L motor wasn't the culprit? My 863 hesitates more on L than right, so wonder if it is the front pump of the hydrostatic pump or the motor? Love your video's. Watch all I can.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Replacing that motor fixed it.

[@crichmond1813]

Need to find someone that will rebuild my drive motor !!

thealfaman12 No, I sold the thing broken, I was always fixing it, I liked it when it was working though. Get a Takeuchi TL8. It’s cheaper than trying to keep a bobcat brand machine running. You’ll get 10x the work done and it will make you money faster.

[@mikemoore8135]

Andrew why do you leave some of your equipment at you Dads and some at your house?

[@ZeroFloat.]

Maybe it is a silly question but why would you need both 864 and 743?

I have a 742 as well. Its nice to have multiple machines because sometimes a machine will be stuck on a job, and you will need it elsewhere. Or if one is broken.

[@computernostalgia6293]

Why did you destroy those old 2004-2005 dell dimensions?
