    Bobcat 331 lock out /work solenoid short to ground

    Hey guys, I'm at a loss here. I'm getting a 65-06 code on my bobcat 331. Which I think means pilot lock/ work /safety solenoid short to ground. I thought I found a loose connector to one of the two solenoids that control the pilot flow. So I replaced both solenoids, bypassed the harness...

    Volvo EC-140C - what tool to remove this piston lock nut

    I know this is a little old here. But do we know if the 140b uses the same nut for its cylinders? Probably right? The service manual says "using a hook wrench". I have to rebuild a few cylinders as some point, just trying to prepare. Any other pointers are welcome!

    Bobcat manual xchange slop

    Hey guys, my 2003 bobcat 331 coupler has always worked for me and I have not lost a bucket yet, but the slop is getting really bad. The rest of the machine is fairly tight, but the bucket wobbles around like mad. Is this due to wear on the bucket, coupler, or both? Can a welded/ strategic...

    Retrofit Different Pilot Control Joysticks on Old Daewoo Excavator?

    That's what I'm thinking. That should answer all of the unknowns here right?

    Retrofit Different Pilot Control Joysticks on Old Daewoo Excavator?

    Do you have a pattern changer? Can you flip flop some lines to determine if it's actually an issue in the cab?

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Thank you! I did a fair amount of research on this site before I started to minimize screw ups.

    Nige, yes I bought a pile of flap discs and wire wheels. I figured I'd mount the chains then buzz the paint off of the tops so I'm not doing it on my knees. Wire wheel and smooth out the back of the pads too.

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Yes, rollers and the idlers. I hate doing things twice lol. Yanking that idler, do you think if I pull the blade up I'll be able to slide it out with the tensioner in one piece? Or will I have to pull have way and unbolt the tensioner? I ran out of steam and haven't tried.

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    I guess I was just wondering what causes the bushing to explode like so many of mine are. But I guess they were just at the very end of their life. A little too much slop in the sprocket, a strategically placed rock right? Swapping the bushings and pins would make sense if the chains were a...

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Dave, I haven't installed the new parts yet. Can you tell me what torque and how far to turn? I was planning on torquing to 300-330 only because that's what the service manual says I believe.

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    I decided to transfer the pads and save the money. Rented a tow behind compressor to run a 1 inch impact, snapped all the bolts. The rails were far worse than I realized. What causes this to happen?

    Order assembled chains and pads or transfer? Ec140blc

    Ughhh. There are mixed reviews on aftermarket track parts. On the Internet and off. I would have them warranty that! Their warranty sounds solid from what I've read.
