This video helped me out today ,thanks. You know your stuff & calm too.Been a tech 35 years, mostly automotive , but some HD. Just now getting into bobcat tech. I will always search for your help on U tube.( dan / ONT Canada)
Your positive outlook on working in these kinds of weather conditions is impressive! I appreciate people like you and your willingness to share your knowledge!
Thank you for this! We have one of these.. and there's not a lot of content on the internet. Haven't had issues with the belt yet.. but glad I've seen the process. You also have convinced me I need a set of Milwaukee ratchets and impacts. .. thanks. Lol!
Nice video. All your videos are well explained and detailed. I don’t own anything you work on but the techniques and principles still apply. Excellent value you bring to UA-cam. Thank you!
Love the videos! I have an old bobcat 751 and while I have done a lot of work on gas cars, trucks, atvs etc. I know little about my diesel bobcat. Your videos are great, I've learned a lot about my machine and fixed a few issues you covered in other videos. Thank you, your experience is very appreciated.
Another excellent video.I plan on getting a toolcat very soon and I have a feeling this will be very helpful .Thank you for everything you do for us.Also are u ever going to to a live session I think that would be pretty cool
This is an awesome video. I very recently picked up a used 2014 Toolcat with traction control. The machine is ‘bogging’ when traction control is enabled or even at higher speeds when disabled. I’m going to take a look at my belt & tensioner setup & condition asap - thanks to your help!
Check and clean sensor on front left axle for traction control. If the sensor is loose or the transaxle is loose in the frame the traction control will not work correctly, it will sense wheel slippage and apply the brakes to try to correct which could cause the engine to bogg.
Another great job, you make it look easy and working on my Bobcat a lot less intimidating. Wouldn't an operator hear that tensioner pulley start to fail before it broke like that?
Hi, a very good video. Thank you for posting. If I may ask, what is your background. You appear to be an expert on bobcat equipment. Are you involved with the company. I imagine the knowledge you have most of taking many years to acquire. Thank you.
Happened to me on my 2017 model ! Electronics black box under de Sand box ! By the way, did you know you can install real winter tires on it ? I had 4 Chev Colorado (2009) Blizzak on mine. Work like a charm on ice. they were 10 ply !
I've heard people say that when these toolcats have this issue or can not start that there is no way to get it back to a shop to work on them. Site only service since they become immobile. Please straighten this out for me. Still town between this and a 4066r.
Depends on the situation, any good flat bed driver whould be able to load it up and get to a shop. Depending on the failure it might be cheaper to just have a road tech do the repair.
Ours break down almost every year.. it’s like Cadillac it’s got great features but junking manufacturing.. our belt broke like that as well.. why not use a chain?? Or something better.. right now as we speak my hydraulics won’t work on the attachments. Before that, it was run away Diesel.. one problem after another.. I don’t recommend BobCat
Where is everyone even finding parts for these? i found the part number I need from Bobcat parts online (6814052), but parts availability looks like dealership only? i need a hose that's part hardline and rubber from the hydrostatic system. cant find anything for these ANY where.
@@tetradgroup Dang, thanks for the response though! Thatd turn me away from a sale personally, no aftermarket support at all. Spent hours searching yesterday. Bummer.
There’s a lot of garbage content on UA-cam finding a seasoned tech that’s willing to share what they’ve learned is priceless. Thanks for the videos.
You put a smile on this old operators face 20 degrees in freedom units.
Keep up the good work, love watching your videos.
New to bobcats my job has only afew and this guy has been great
This seriously saved me on a snowy day! Thanks for the concise and extremely useful video.
I really like your attitude, and I'm with you, there's rarely a bad day, some are better than others. gratitude goes a long way in Life!
Good fix. Nice there was no traffic too.
I may never own a Toolcat, but I’m smarter now for knowing how to fix one! Thank you again!
Thanks for videoing this - we think we have our problem solved because of watching this. Greatly appreciated!
My bobcat broke down, our mechanic is coming to the rescue but now I know I another thing 😊
I like that torque spec.."click click" or until that forearm burns!!

Good video , i use a toolcat for highway mowing now i know what to check first if i have a similar problem
Thanks for another great informative video. and the scenery was awesome as well.

I'm cold just looking at you
Great video bud ... thanks
Thank you so much!!! Why would you not put the better belt on it? Chris
This is the only belt available for this machine at the time. I don't think any updates have been made.
First time watching. Good job 👍
awesome video! Thank you!
Another great job, you make it look easy and working on my Bobcat a lot less intimidating. Wouldn't an operator hear that tensioner pulley start to fail before it broke like that?
You would think so, however he said he heard it when it broke lol

Thx for the vids 👍 Are there tensioner stop brackets like that one on the skid steers that need periodic adjustment?
Thanks for the comment and yes most of the skids will have a stop bracket. I did a video that explains the stop bracket and how it's adjusted.
Is there a kit to convert the Toolcat belt to the stronger skidsteer belt?
hi good show , how many hours should that belt last ?
Mind showing us where that valve is to loft the bed next time lol
Happened to me on my 2017 model ! Electronics black box under de Sand box !
By the way, did you know you can install real winter tires on it ?
I had 4 Chev Colorado (2009) Blizzak on mine. Work like a charm on ice. they were 10 ply !

Sounds like the belt blew should be direct drive I got an update kit on mine haven’t blown it yet…
Ours break down almost every year.. it’s like Cadillac it’s got great features but junking manufacturing.. our belt broke like that as well.. why not use a chain?? Or something better.. right now as we speak my hydraulics won’t work on the attachments. Before that, it was run away Diesel.. one problem after another.. I don’t recommend BobCat
Have you ever done a bobcat 843 control valve rebuild?
My rear hydraulic steering just went out code 5054 It was the computer control board by the rear axle underneath the metal plate damn you’
Would this machine be good for row work running a brush cutter?
I have a bobcat 5600 that happens to turn off after a minute of being operated.
Any idea on what the issue could be?
👍
Great video! Do you know if the A series Toolcat has the same tensioning system?
Although the tensioners have changed several times over the years its the same basic operation.
Where is everyone even finding parts for these? i found the part number I need from Bobcat parts online (6814052), but parts availability looks like dealership only? i need a hose that's part hardline and rubber from the hydrostatic system. cant find anything for these ANY where.
These are definitely one of Bobcat machines, most everything will have to come from the dealership, not much available aftermarket for these.
@@tetradgroup Dang, thanks for the response though! Thatd turn me away from a sale personally, no aftermarket support at all. Spent hours searching yesterday. Bummer.
Terrible design, if the battery runs down.....you need a damn crane to get to it?
👍
