I am going to try to take the pins out of the lift frame. That would be the PIN that is at the highest level in the back and the PIN that is on the square rod near the back of where the Piston comes out. Even in your video it looks like there is enough hose length that if the back moving yoke is pulled back and the main lift frame is move forward about 6 in sliding on where the pin was taken out on that lower square rod it would give plenty of room for the piston to extend upward between where the upper pin was taken out. The hoses would have to be pulled left or right to let the rod come through. I'm going to leave the bucket on and sitting on the ground. Can anyone see anything wrong using a procedure like this?
I'm a equipment mechanic and have a fleet of bobcats and we use generic AW32 hydro fluid and we've been using the same stuff for over 15yrs. The oldest in the fleet is an early 90s model and that newest is a 2020. No need to buy from bobcat
Jason, I'm still in the process of the rebuild, been waiting on the crankshaft and cam. Block and head work is completed. I do have some extra parts what are you needing?
I just did both of my back hydraulics on the S185 it is so much easier just slip the pin out and pull the Jacks out and do them about an 2 hour job if everything goes well taking them apart it did for me anyway I'm not a mechanic just tight with my money and didn't want to pay somebody a hundred bucks an hour to do it
Nice video! I am adding an overhead crane to my garage build for sure now. 🙂
You need to unscrew the hydraulic line to release the pressure
Awesome tutorial, man. What was the name of that tool for the inner seal? Thanks again.
Great video, well done!. I was wondering if this could be done this way!, I will need to get an overhead lift!.

What kind of hydraulic fluid did you use ? Bobcat is so expensive ! Just the the seals I got for like 25$ they wanted 98$ from bobcat
I highly recommend using Bobcat fluids, I know it's more expensive but the pumps are designed using it.

Can you remove the entire piston and do it on the bench?
@@tino578 you can but will have to disconnect the lines at the base which are very difficult to get to.
what happened to the Allis Chalmers WD45 Diesel rebuild? Did you finish the motor and how difficult of a rebuild is it? Did you have any extra parts?

Hey Nash. My bobcat's bucket lowers by itself very slowly. Im gessing it has a loss of pressure somewhere.im i correct? Thanks
Yes either a seal is slowly leaking on ur cylinder or the o-rings in the valve body are leaking.
@@nashsummers8050 thanks man. I've ordered the seals to do the same work you showed on the video. Will let you know how it goes

If you had loosened bottom fitting in the engine bay it would of been easier to remove rod.
Brandon, to loosen that pin takes much more time and it’s harder to get to. This is by far the easiest way to do it.
