    I did the same swap to my bobcat 520. That was 2 years ago and it gets used a ton to this day.

    So a couple questions for you. Was that a Wisconsin engine removed? Was the pump driven by the flywheel end of the wisconsin engine? I thought there was some issues with rotation based on which end of engine is used (wisconsin) cw or ccw? Was looking at doing same swap but need this info first. Thx

    • @DannysCam

    Bobcat is not hiring you…their loss.
    I look at my bobcat engine and I got headaches…everything is compacted in that small space in the back.
    Replacing the battery got me struggle as it was an old bobcat and everything has been rusted or corroded or greased etc…
    Why can’t they make something simpler so an average Joe (not the dementia Joe) can do the normal maintenances.
    If the Chinese people got something similar but easier, Bobcat will have a tough time getting customers back.
    Oh course I used the Chinese as an example, I hope that Capitelar, Case, John Deer etc.
    Ain’t buying Chinese here.

      Bobcat, Case, John Deer, Capetilar among others American brands have been in business since time and no one ever thinks that “we need to come up with something easier”…it’s only a matter of time which company including the whole world comes up with a better skidteer, easier to fix, cheaper and reliable…I will dump mine and get one…that’s for sure.
      Millions people like me…profit margins will skyrocket.
      Like I said…ain’t buying Chinese nor foreigners.
      However if Americans brands don’t get in line…Corolla will be…in the skids world, anything if there is no other option.
