- This bobcat 610 skid steer has been sitting for a long time after the owner passed away. It has been left to rot where it has been left. Today we are going to get it running and drive it out of its grave.
Dirt work skid steer backhoe will it start buying and fixing skid steer

Great to see young people with the skills, tenacity and work ethic doing things like this.
More power to you chap.
Cheers

Outstanding! keep on keeping them alive. Great channel young man.
Thank you 🙏
Cutting to you watering the plants got me good. Im so excited to see this thing all fixed up!
That had me dying 😂
That machine definitely thought it had seen the last of its days...so glad you are giving it another life! She's got a lot left in her!
I have the same machine, M-610, that I bought new in 1975. Still have it and still running strong. The only thing I’ve done to the engine besides points and spark plugs is head gaskets. Those Wisconsin VH 4D engines are great. I just repainted it and you can still get the original decals for it online.
I'm ready, let's see it. Can't wait. Love watching.
Amazing to see those machines come back to life thanks for sharing
Your personality is wounderful love to watch your channel
I owned a 610 for years! Been kicking myself for years for selling it. Now I'm using a 763 that is not half the machine my 610 was. The only thing on the 610 was the air cooled engine. If you use it in brush a lot, the air passes will get plugged and it will over heat. There is a heat sensor on a head bolt that will shut the engine off if it over heats. Sometimes people take them off, so be sure that sensor is on it and working. Good machine that will do a lot of work!
I can't believe you got that old Wisconsin running when they sit valves will stick very expensive to work on parts wise
Damn plants never grow where you want them to. 🤣
I bought a 610 like this and did the same thing. best investment ever! I love it
"go join your friend" - I felt that.
Love that FORD compact diesel in the background.
"Go join your friend" is so relatable 😂
Them old Wisconsins were good but a nice yanmar or kubota diesel would be mucho bettero😊 I’m super excited to see your other vids comin out brother! This old excavator is killing me finacially it needs a new slew bearing and gears and tons of other stuff
man i LOVE your content
Try to get the trailer and log splitter as a package deal.
Wisconsin W4-1770 engine with 35 horses of fury. I worked with a guy who had the tiniest of Bobcat skid steer loaders. Powered by an 18hp Kohler twin. He used it for building demolition. They’re also popular for mucking stalls.
Love videos!! Since your at harbor freight already buy some grade 70 chains and 2 ratcheting chain binders please. 2” strap won’t work if it’s over a sharp edge. It will slowly slice the strap and cops can give you a ticket for it.
DOT Tip (Anything over 10,000lbs on a trailer for equipment needs 4 points of securement. Anything under 10,000lbs needs 2 points of securement.) just an FYI if you ever get pulled over by county or state patrol.
Let’s say you are hauling a mini excavator weights less than 10,000lbs you will need your 2 point securement AND you need to secure the bucket as DOT says because it’s an “attachment” so that also need to be chained down. Anything that’s an attachment to a piece of equipment also has to be chained down. Like a skid steer bucket, mini excavator buckets. Backhoe front bucket and rear bucket is an attachment. So basically you have to carry (5) grade 70 chains and 5 ratcheting chain binders. If you don’t know what grade chains are and the weight rating of chains just do some googling. Grade 70 is your standard DOT transport chain. You can get away with 3/8 chains and 3/8-1/2 chain binders. With that you would be set for life. (Working load) limit of (1) 3/8 grade 70 chain is 6,600lbs.
It was about a 15min drive but yeah. I’ve ripped straps on sharp edges before. It weighs about 4000lb.
@@BradenBuildz no worry’s just giving your tips if you haven’t already known about the DOT regulations. Every now and then you have to break some rules to get stuff done 😁😁
Always amazing content. I bought one of those 600 series Bobcats back in the day, served me well.
That ol’ Wisconsin V45 engine is a tank! Just make sure the crankshaft end play is correct when you reassemble it and try and find an original magneto and get rid of the points/condenser/coil setup. Replace the variable pulley “O” rings and slip clutches, and ALL the hydraulic lines, rebuild all the cylinders, the pump is obviously still good so no need to open that up. Sandblast the entire thing while you have it apart and repaint everything. There’s some old grave digger somewhere wishing to go back to the good old days.
It might be worth a few dollars when you’re done putting a few thousand in repairs.
PS the “Clark” decal and the fact it’s a 610 dates this Machine to the late sixties maybe early seventies before they sold out to Melroe. Even after they became produced by Melroe they still had the Clark name on them until the early eighties.
I think it goes without saying to change the clutches (inside the drive/hydraulic tanks on either side attached to the Jack shaft) and check the drive chains located inside the hydraulic tanks. IF there was water in the hydraulic fluid it’s likely the drive chains are seriously rusted. Water usually enters through the vent cap in small amounts and converts to steam during operation there but a small amount is expected to be caught by the main hydraulic filter, if it sat unused for an extended period in the weather then there may be several inches of water in those side tanks.
If memory serves me correctly there is supposed to be about 30 gallons of hydraulic fluid split between the two tanks on that machine BUT most regular users ran them with SAE 30 wt oil rather than hydraulic fluid. A) it was much cheaper to get non detergent motor oil (detergent oil foams up too much) than hydraulic fluid back in the day and B) Oil has a particularly desirable “spongy” feel to the machine vs hydraulic fluid. Useful when back dragging ground to level it.
All the filters (two of them for the hydraulic system, available through Napa Auto Parts) worked just fine with oil or hydraulic fluid but DO NOT MIX THE TWO. Choose either one or the other and roll with it.
To change the drive belt from the engine you will find it rather interesting, just disconnect the “Jack shaft union” and it’s fairly simple (trying to remember if that was still an issue on that model). The variable pulley on the motor is controlled by hydraulic pressure and is (or should be) adjustable from the operator seat but some models had a centrifugal pulley control, this adjustable pulley allowed the operator to choose between more speed or more power without adjusting engine RPM. That jack shaft coupling kept me very busy on that model back in the day.
Before discarding the clutch disc, take them to a clutch rebuilder and see if they can re line them but DO NOT use semi metallic liners. The added heat from semi metallic clutches sliding around in a hydraulic bath is a recipe for disaster. Ask me how I know this.
Drive chains do have a master link in them, find it and remove the chains behind the rectangular panels (behind the wheels) before attempting to remove the wheel axles/spindles. It’s just so much easier that way. There is a tensioner inside for the chains.
The main hydraulic lines that failed back in the day were the steel lines from the pump to the lift cylinders, followed by hoses, then bucket cylinder seals. Oil helped a lot with the seals failing issue but those darn steel lines (required pulling the engine to replace them) were a real pain in the keister. There should be an operator safety bar that folded down from the inside top of the cage that was supposed to have a switch to disable the engine if raised but it was commonplace for people to disable it. Operate these machines without that safety bar and they will throw you right out of the cage, even with the seatbelt.
The hydraulics were controlled by a single three way spool valve setup, they should be run with the engine at two thirds throttle or greater. That machine came with several different hydraulic pumps depending on when exactly it was made or serviced and a new design may have been retrofitted or installed. The swash plate was fixed position at the pump, there was no need to vary the swash plate in that model since it did not operate forward and reverse functions and only operated the bucket/lift function. Speed was varied by the drive pulley system not the throttle. The third function was the center pedal and used for the “accessory” ports near the bucket. Things like post drivers, augers, trenchers, rock saws, and various other hydraulic accessories.
A great machine actually, a very heavy lifter if you added the engine door weights. Otherwise it had a tendency to tip forward with heavy loads. However, with the door weights it was quite easy to pop wheelies when the bucket was off the machine or if the bucket was elevated while traveling. Also it has a tendency to creep, that’s just loose or poorly adjusted clutches. The tops of the directional levers should move two inches before engaging either forward or reverse (from center). That model had a parking brake to stop the creeping while warming it up or just running the engine while out of the seat.
Use caution in figuring out what you’re comfortable doing with it, you won’t hurt the machine but IT WILL try to hurt you.
Be glad you didn’t find a model 843 diesel, I’d be telling you about the 8 foot crows foot needed to change one notoriously located hydraulic elbow. Have fun with it, I’ll be watching to see this one completed so I can critique your work. Obviously like I said, I worked on plenty of these back in the day. This model I usually seen used by grave diggers or dairy farmers. Them grave diggers ran them hard and so did the dairy farmers, but there’s a reason they chose that machine. It is really hard to kill it and I could usually have them back operating in a day or two in the shop. 90% of the time the first thing was pulling the engine out which is best done with a forklift and that single 30 minute action was $350 labor back in the day. If I needed parts I would just drive across town to the Melroe/Clark Factory and get them directly.
It was a good gig while it lasted. I just got tired of always getting doused in hydraulic fluid and cow dung. I moved into the Computer field in the mid 90’s, then to Merchant Marines in 2008. Now I am retired and building my own farm equipment just for fun.
Enjoyed that. Determination❤❤❤❤❤
it's always a pleasure when I remember I'm subscribed to this guy
I have a 70s 610 Bobcat with a Deutz Diesel in it. great tool.
That orange trailer, can be your next project.
Look like a Wisconsin 4 cylinder really good motors
I'm amazed at how lucky you get on these machines. I would find a skid steer with a locked engine and rusted together drivetrain 🤣
Ohh trust me. There are lots of videos I make that just don’t make it to UA-cam because the project ends up being too far gone. Or I’ll bring something a long ways and something catastrophically fails.
lol I get burnt a lot but I don’t post those because then everyone wants me to rebuild or restore whatever it may be and I just don’t have the patience or interest to do all that.
If I fully restored everything I brought home I would still be making videos on the 1980 scout I brought home awhile ago and to me that’s just boring. I like keeping it fresh with new stuff
@BradenBuildz even though some of them don't make it to youtube, you're attempting to fix things most people wouldn't even try. Kudos to you for that 👏 there's keyboard mechanics and then there's folks like you who actually do it lol
I am starting on my burned down bobcat s70 this week, nice to see you working on a similar machine!
Hard work , but lots of learning experience.
I knew this video was going to do well! Great job man!
Engine gonna never be the same quick oil change before running oil water
Very awesome surviving that bobcat can't wait to see the part to video of you fixing it all up and awesome channel keep new videos coming outstanding work for you young man very proud of you for your knowledge on that stuff 🤘
Don't know about the rest of the machine, but its got one hell of a starter! Great video and new subscriber!
Absolute legend well done can't wait to see more .
Salut mon Steel! Dire que je te suis depuis environs tes 10k, et je t’ai vu évoluer et par le fait même moi aussi,(je t’écoutais dans ma chambre comme un hermite, et aujourd’hui, j’ai fait l’achat de ma première maison et je suis toujours à l’écoute 😂) je t’écoutais jouer dans ta petite salle avec un rideau noir et ton casque Razer, (parfois avec les lunettes d’aviateur 😂). Je trouves que ton contenu est rendu infiniment meilleur, surtout avec le tracteur et tout, mais cette vidéo là est next step, j’avais le feeling de jaser avec toi 😂. Tout ça pour dire lâche pas le contenu est parfait. Et tu sembles être un très bon père.🤟🏻
Great video , hopefully you keep us posted while you restore the bobcat
Good video as always! Keep em coming!
DUDEZILLA! You are ONE FUNNY YOUNG JEDI!!!
AND YOU give this old guy hope for the future generation!!!!
Young hustler with a sense of humor keep it real kiddo :) proud of you !!
Excelente video gracias por compartirlo y mas a los que amamos estas bellezas saludos
I'm a new subscriber hope to see much more of this kind of videos
😂 funny guy are you ... use round-up works superb.
Great video man I would love to see more from the bobcat
I share your joy!!
My dude be easy on that starter 😂
Great Job
that's no bobcat, that's a bobkitty! we had one years ago, scraped the isles in the free stall barn.
Love your videos. What’s the plan with the machines, is it for contracting work or are you collecting them for fun. I like both options so not judging was just curious
love the vid, Jesus is indeed King. keep it up
It good you are saving the old girl instead of of it going to the scrap yard
I just wish I had the knowledge to do this. It's fun watching you make these finds and bring them back to life. I always wonder what kind of deals you get on these.
If I can’t sell it and make a profit on it I simply don’t buy it. That goes for just about everything I buy except for fast food lol. Just a mind set I’ve developed. Some call it “being tight”. I will never ever buy something with debt unless it’s real estate.
Well done young man.....had to sub
Great video im new to the channel and your getting a new subscriber
first time watching and it was the bets time watching love the vids
new sub here, I like the content ..👍👍
24:48 bros watering his plants
Have one of those works allmost every day.
Mint
Can we get this mans more views?
I would love to have this machine
O boy nice
Got gas Boy 😂😂😂
awesome score, was it spendy to drag home?
Interesting
what air compressor are you using? I like that little device
It’s from harbor freight
I'm surprised you didn't burn up that starter the way you were cranking it for so long. Might want to try cranking it less each time you try to get something running.
Starters start to ask for help when they get too hot. This one never did that
Braden powers through another salvage rescue with minimum effort 🤔. Did he notice it runs on only 2 cylinders ? Fix Or for parts only? Thanks
Foot pedal ya I jave a back howl attachment with mine a 753 series
She's A Beaut Clark
I didn't hear what you were looking for. I have several Wisconsin motors of several different varieties 2and4 cylinders. They have been sitting but can be yours .
State?
@@BradenBuildz NY
@@BradenBuildzthose bobcat Wisconsin VH4D engines had a special tapered shaft.
btw. had a house with a crawl space of 3' deep. dug an extra 6' deep to make a full basement took 2 days in 1975
I seen this on Facebook marketplace
what is the name of the song towards the end of video. thanks Mike
😂❤
So, you didn't chain that down for transport?
Didn’t chain the camera down either 😬
Did you buy this in SC i seen it on marketplace the other day for $3000
Nope you were looking at a different one, not worth that in his condition
@BradenBuildz it had trees growing in it just like this one I was buying a mower last week and the guy had a M440 he wanted $5000 I offered my F250 truck for trade but he said no
How come you don’t get one of those go pro head pieces to make life easy on yo bo
I prefer quality shots
That’s my watering can fool
i bet that insect repellant is about as old as that bobcat has been sitting there
Where R your gloves? Thanks.
Where are your gloves? Thanks.
You’re either not allergic to poison ivy and ticks or not fond of long sleeves and pants haha
Extremely allergic to poison ivy, gotten it so many times I can identify it and treat it immediately after exposure. You won’t find me in pants and long sleeves during summer time
@@BradenBuildz I heard that
❤te encargo uno de$500 dlls🎉🎉🎉🎉
I see you have another toy and project 😂😂😂😂
You need to have a fire extinguisher close to hand when you're playing with petrol or even hydraulic fluid. WTF did you put 5 gallons into the tank?
Who says I didn’t have a fire extinguisher?
@@BradenBuildz In the truck was it?
Nope. Pulled it out of the truck and Had it laying behind the camera with my tool box.
Criticize criticize
17:49. You can see a fire extinguisher laying beside a plastic tool box
14:06 clean the points....christ
Yeah what about him?
Put that engine out and put a diesel engine in
Poor starter
It would have been a good idea to put some lube in the cylinders before all that cranking.
Yes but not as bad as you think. Oil pressure builds while cranking not just by running. The only damage done was the first few rotations after that oil pressure should have been up. Damage very minimal and probably unmeasurable.
@@BradenBuildz You are correct, the damage was done. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things. You made a poor choice.
I also said damage is most likely immeasurable. Meaning next to none.
If you want me to put on a lab vest and some gloves and do everything by the book your on the wrong channel.
