T 14:35 There should be rubber bushings at the bottom that the pegs at the bottom of the tanks. The metal strap holds them to the back of the engine case.
Both of these tanks don't have any pegs on them that would hold any type of bushing. The unit is a early 1980s machine so possibly the design is different on these older units. The parts manual shows an image of basically a sheet of material which I'm thinking might just be some rubber that gets friction fit between the tanks and the metal cover that bolts to the frame.
Thanks for the videos. I have recently acquired a 632 and have some similar issues. I’m curious about all that excess oil which drained out of the chain case. My understanding is that the level should only be to the bottom of that drain, so wondering why yours (as was mine) was so overfull. Do you think that hydraulic pump seal you replaced was the culprit? I would t think that oil would end up in the chain case. Wondering if you have checked the chain case since that repair to see if it is still filling up. My theory is that one of the drive motors is leaking into my chain case but reluctant to rebuild them as they are working well when the fluid reservoir is full.
Thanks for watching! On my unit the excess fluid in the chain case is due to the drive motor seals leaking into the case. The leak I have is pretty slow as after having it run for a bit the level in the chain case stays the same. I would guess you are having the same issue. Like you said however the motors are working well with the reservoir topped off so a rebuild on those will wait until it is really needed.

What year is the bobcat. You can add them if they are not there.
