Gotta love having a skid loader around. They are for sure a very useful machine. Knew a guy who had an attachment that allowed him to use it like a small excavator. Went with him to Oregon to help get a piece of property ready for sale and we brought it along and rented a skid loader locally. For a long while I did all the maintenance work on his stuff. He bought a huge 30,000 sq foot building that was due for demolition. Had a large scissor lift, a boom lift, two skid loaders and some other stuff that I took care of plus helping to clean up and do the work on the building. The second skid loader he purchased from someone with it acting up. I made repairs and serviced it since who knows when it was done last and he ended up selling it back to the guy afterwards. He also had a small excavator on another piece of property that I worked on. He had a hydraulic line that blew and the cheapo was only going to buy a single wrench rather than a couple around the same size (like 21 to 25 mm wrench sizes can't remember them all but bigger). I told him to get the group since it was like 10 or 15 bucks more than the single wrench, he asked me when we would ever use that size of wrench and I told him, "Every time it breaks down." He bought the group and when we got back to put the new line on oddly enough we needed a different size than the one he bought and two of them instead of just the one may the job a ton easier. Also ended up being one of them was the correct size for the oil filter on his F250 diesel as well. Always worth having tools and knowledge though. Tons of things you can learn and figure out that way. I am hoping to pick up a piece of property at some point and honestly want to get a skid steer and a couple buckets so I can build the house and do any of the work needed myself. I think it will more than pay for the cost of a used skid loader what I save from paying someone else.

Remember those sticky tab labels we all used on our files in college/high school? I went through my car manual and bike manual and stuck the tabs on the chapters and wrote the chapter heading on them. Makes it so much easier to find the exact chapter that you need as the tabs stick out the side/top of manual. On ring binder manuals I used the office index dividers to do the same. Yes its ten minutes of your time to do it but its great in the future. Like you with the Bobcat, I've had both the car and bike for eight years now. Also, nail files are great for cleaning contacts , easier than trying to do it with sandpaper. Just make sure you buy your own and don't pinch the wife's !

Jeez after the leaf blower I had to clean my puter screen off. I just got a 1994 742b yesterday. 1300 hours.Its a gas model. It has been stored inside all its life. It has some dings and scratches It is spotless non the less. Its going to be a big help with the 1966 ford backhoe.The only thing good about the backhoe it is the hoe. And it weights 8000lb. I have a 13,000 winch on the front of it. Ive been pulling some big trees down with here on the ranch.. The loader bucket I think was off a drag line. Its way to big. I ran it for a few hours yesterday here and what a good job they do. I picked up every big rock in my 2 acres in no time. The 5 ton of gravel got spreader in no time and leveled. Ditches filled and some bond fire junk in the dumpster. I love it. Watching you convinced me to get one.

Myself and the other driver put a track on a bobcat the other day after we rescued it from a jobsite. It's very rare that a machine doesn't come back with me when it's broken cause of the knowledge I've gained and all the tools I cary on my truck. First thing I did when I bought my massey ferguson was get service manuals😂

Just a piece of advice from a guy that has been in the electrical business for 30 years troubleshooting automation equipment. Don't ever spray air at a mess like that to clean it (the rust in the relay/fuse box) always vacuum it out! spraying it usually lodges the crap deeper into the sockets causing more issues. Also clean ALL the contacts with fine sandpaper and flush the sockets out with "contact cleaner" Then spray it with air to evaporate the cleaner. I would also re-seal that gasket around the plate to keep water from getting in there again...good luck

At 19:00 the belt and pulley in the background is the tensioner for the cooling fan. It's an aluminum arm with a steel bushing and bolt in it. They are notorious for seizing up and causing overheating problems. The tensioner will keep enough pressure on the belt to turn the fan at idle, but at high RPM or working the machine hard the belt will slip causing overheating. I take mine apart at every oil change and lube it up with anti seize. I enjoy your videos, especially the church project.

I used to be a bobcat mechanic and had a custom built pair of vice grips that would push those “cam follower” bearings against the bars and would always put a wireless tach on the wheels to get them to run straight. You can flip those “centering” bars over and use the backside if they have worn in bad grooves. Always lift the arms and support them then you can lay a piece of padded plywood over the operators area to lay on to do any work on the hydrostat

G'day Matt, just purchased my first Bobcat (743B) - excellent deal as was pouring out hydro oil. Was missing the retainer circlip on the hydro pump input seal and the seal had fallen out. Few $ for a new seal and clip and it's back in service. Only owned for a week and I agree, will likely have one until the day I die now! Thanks for your videos, appreciate the work you put in to them and all the gear you work hard to get back in service. Cheers from Australia.

Buy a new cover or repair that one so it will seal and as previously said should have use contact cleaner.

Just saying a couple dollars now might save you a lot of down time and money later when you have to replace the harness.

I always find it disappointing when something has to be adjusted by just loosening a bolt, sliding and retightening. If you're not careful, you can lose the position completely or if the surfaces aren't clean, it can be a pain making fine adjustments. Why can't it be a threaded setting or a mechanism that gives you good leverage. It would save so much time and nerves. The quality of the machine should emerge from clever engineering, not from an experienced dude sweating his balls off in the field, trying to get an elephant to play the violin.

It's really that reconfiguring something that simple would boggle the mind of the engineers. I asked an engineer to design a regulator that would regulate the gas flow for a certain carburetor what he came up with was three times the size of the carburetor and couldn't be used he said there was no way anyone could make what I needed. I found exactly what I needed on an old frozen Coke machine that was being thrown out. it was what regulated the syrup flow and was designed to fit perfectly in my application. (the frozen coke machine was manufactured 30 years before my request.) Sometimes you just have to Keep It Simple Stupid to make things work right without complications.

Reminds me of back in the 1960s, there was a car with a V8 engine where you had to pull the engine to replace the back spark plug on each side. Some owners just cut a hole in the wheel well to get at those plugs and then fastened a home-made sheet-metal cover plate with sheet-metal screws over the hole!

Whenever you encounter rust like in the relay housing you should clean it up then spray it with Ospho. It will stop all the rust quickly and prevent more.

If the contacts for the relays are corroded then so are all the plugs. This is going to likely keep giving you trouble until you clean it all up and seal that cover properly. Power wash and steam clean, take care of some of the leaks, grease her up good, clean up some of the rust, and paint that baby up. You should always have a relay and fuses handy. I always find that if you keep your equipment clean you notice leaks and such faster and can fix them before they get out of hand. You also tend to do the regular maintenance more often and you will find this thing could last you 30+ years easy.

Great video. Same issue with relays. I put a bead of silicone around cover. Still can peel the cover off but keeps water out now. Also not a fan of Bobcat dealer in my area. Go in for a part and they try to make you feel bad or cheap for having an older machine and not buying a new machine every time.

You could ask Andrew Camarata about bobcat skid steer’s, he had two for a while and couldn’t depend on them! He was always working on them and each video it seemed like he was having some kind of problem with them! He finally found a deal on a ICI skid steer and still hasn’t had any trouble with it! I watch hie videos too and he got on a Takeuchi T10 and decided to buy it and afterwards he ran up on the T12 so he bought it too! They seem to be great skid steer machines and Letsdig18 , Chris bought himself a brand new one! I know not everyone can buy new equipment especially if they’re trying to grow! I think you do a great job on whatever you do! Hey Matt I can’t wait to see Christine painted and grading your road! She’s going to be a awesome machine! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Enjoyed the video. While I don't have a skid steer to work on, learning how they operate and watching you diagnosis the issues was really informative. Keep'm coming. Also, Meatball is a hoot. The ball is bigger than he is yet that doesn't stop him. Clearly you're the Alpha dog judging by his efforts to get your attention. He's a keeper.

On the farm we had a 6ft wise 3pt mounted Woods Cadet. She was pretty worn out as she was used by the county abs was pretty thrashed and leaked out the gearbox oil in a day. Lol. But what ever one could get under the deck it’d pulverize. In a previous video you mentioned the pins on the brush cutter are 3/4 inch diameter, the Woods bolts were 1.5 inch diameter, meaning the woods would have a cross sectional diameter 4x times larger. Also, the woods blades were flat 1/2 or 5/8 inch thick barstock with no sharp edge so they just mashed stuff but didn’t dull as they were dull lol. Idk might be best to use the model as light duty cutter for grass and small brush. Just thoughts on it. Super handy having on the front of a skid steer though.

I'll add my vote for tips on buying a used Skid Steer. With all the the attachment options these seem to have they can be mega-useful! I have no idea what a Dealer charges for those relays but OMRON relays are pretty available on EBay, etc so if you get the Part Number you might find cheaper replacements.
