Buying one so I wish u showed a little more in detail but enjoyed the video! Thanks
Now that is a real restoration by redoing everything
Thanks man, I tried to give it as much new life as i could within the time frame
@@IntoTheDirtshop Friend of mine restored a 630 bobcat. Looked like new
Derek Langley nice that’s a sweet machine
@@IntoTheDirtshop I know. It has a 4cyl Wisconsin, instead of the kubota.
@@dereklangley8582 ah thats awesome!
As a fellow Bobcat long time fan, I approve your work and dedication. Also, welcome to the Bobcat community!
Thanks man!
Thanks for sharing all your hard work and efforts. Those 743's are a great skidsteer and she deserves the love you gave her. Great video.
I’m getting one that runs but some issues with hydraulic system we don’t know what yet. But it’s 5k with 35** hours. Do u have experience with these? Is that a good deal?
If properly maintained, that Kubota engine should last you awhile.
The hydraulics are the big ?. But if you're going to do the labor... there are parts and resources available.
I may add on maintenance... that ujoint between the pump and engine is often neglected.
CZcams and the skidsteer forum are your friends.
Good luck
Hi .well done for the fantastic job you have just done to this 33 years old little bobcat...you brought it back to her former glory...thank you and brings us more videos of that nature...cheers
Thanks! 1960 John Deere 1010 backhoe project is in the works! Part one is already up on the channel
This is a great video for anyone thinking of buying some machinery they know nothing about, just goes to show how much rust and crud can be hidden under some paint
so much! thanks for checking out the video, it was a fun project though!
You did a fine job! I have a NewHolland L250 I’m repowering and painting! Handy loyal machines worth putting some love into!
Those are awesome machines!
Awesome restore. Looks great. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I have the same machine, currently doing the same things.. What a great video. Thank you so much for all of it. Doing the work is one thing, but the effort in recording editing and uploading as well is over the top. Great job!
Thanks so much! It was a fun project!
You are a class act!!!! Nice job!!!
Thanks man!
this is the real deal, well done
Thanks dude!
Awesome job. Don't normaly watch content this long but have a s130 that I would love to see look new again. My machine is mechanically great and well serviced. just cosmetically worn.
Thanks. Same with this machine. It’s mechanically great but man it was just ugly. Was really happy to finish this one up
Nicely said and well done for your work. I like at the end how you say, basically helped you all become men. That is great and the people before you, are definitely smiling. Great job and your friends should really be happy. Nice work on the video and work completed.
Thank you
Great Video, God Bless!
Appreciate you watching!
this is so nice and relaxing to watch
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the build!
Good job mate, enjoyed watching.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
What a beautiful job you have done. A quality work for which i would give 10 of 10 points and lift my hat
Thank you very much for the kind words
The cage is actually suppose to be charcoal not gloss black. They are a big job to paint and never use the paint from the bobcat dealer. Their paint is crap. Also a good idea to weld bucket tilt stops to the arms to prevent over tilt from heavy attachment such as a grapple bucket. I have seen the tilt cylinder rod bent into a banana. Some have even jerked the end cap off the cylinder.
Yep I knew that, we decided not to invest in the bobcat charcoal and didn’t like any other color match options, so we just went with gloss black
Nice job! I need to do the same to mine!
Do it!!!
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
Nice job!
Thanks for checking it out! Subscribe for more awesome series like this
Very good effort. I enjoyed the restoration. I like that particular model. Bravo from Victoria Australia
Thanks so much!
Very cool
Thanks!!
dude this is a awesome video thanks for doing this video ! i think im going to document my restore also ! great work man this really looks good!
Thanks so much!!!
an even more easy way to paint your rims is to put grease on the tires. once the paint is dry you can clean it off with a high pressure water cleaner. Works amazingly well
That’s a good trick thanks!
Great job, I've got a 443B that is in dire need of paint, I've got to just tear it down and do it.
Thanks! Get after it!
لا اله الا الله🌸
Good job restoring it I just bought one
Awesome!
Very nice.
Thanks man! I was just driving it today and she’s running great as well!
Deck of cards...very interesting.
Works great!
Who would have thought...
Hubs would look better black instead of white, Peace Don't take that wrong, you did an Outstanding job!!!!!!!
Maybe next time I repaint it I’ll do them black! Thanks man!
Well done... and well said... If you take care of quality equipment it will last as you said...
I own this machine now, definitely taking care of it
Nice work. I've got a new to me 743 that I am doing deep maintenance on. I like your choice of Rotella T4 10w30 oil for the motor. I have been reluctant to put 10w30 motor oil in the hydraulic system as per the manual if the preferred Bobcat hydrostatic fluid is not used. I am very interested in your choice of NAPA AW-46 Hydraulic fluid (PN 85-805). Have you used this before in these machines? Thanks in advance.
I’ve got an old Melroe 660 that I would love to fix. It’s unique skid steer. They only made a few. What would you guess it would cost to rebuild it?
Nice work man , could you tell me what song is playing beginning at 37. sec thanx man
Can the cable pedal system on the 943 be changed to an electronic or hydraulic pedal system?
Nice. 56:50 and 56:58. Boom. Nice job man. WIsh I could restore the 743 I'm planning to purchase.
Thanks man! Just get to working on little pieces of it. It’ll all come together!
@@IntoTheDirtshop looks like a lot of sanding and prep work takes the time. Do you have any paint codes that you used or did you just get something close?
xp3085 defintely that’s the best way to get a good finish. I actually have links to all the paints I used in the description. They aren’t from Bobcat, but they look pretty close and in my opinion and have held up well.
Very much amazing. If this was a "rush job" for you I would bet that a meticulous job is way better. How long did it take from start to finish?
Thanks for the kind words, probably 2-3 weeks of actual work part time. It definitely took way longer than expected
This is so cool and very enjoy full to watch. I want to do this to my brother’s bobcat as a surprise: he is on vacation. I just have one question. Where did you get the decals?
Thanks! Ebay for the decals
Does this model skidder reach over the side of a tamdem dump truck? I found a deal on this same model and i want to use it to demo driveways. Itll need to push a little hammer too.
That's farmer man skills
You don’t even know how much that means to me
Do you have the bearing and seal numbers for the wheels? Or a source that sells good quality replacements? Thanks in advance.
I don’t, I would check eBay or contact your bobcat dealer
Whats one of these worth with a blown engine? There's one for sale near me wondering if it's even worth messing around with.
Probably still around 3k or so
hey do u know is it possible to run a sweeper with bucket on these old bobcats? im buying a bobcat and i want to be able to sweep and collect the gravel, dont want to buy and older machine if its not gonna work with this attachment. thanks
You just have to look into the hydraulic flow rate required by the attachment. Certain machines, especially the older ones were limited in flow and may not run some modern attachments
Into The Dirtshop thanks yeah I’ll have to investigate the flow rate. But I was just thinking ya know how ya operate the attachments with the right lever side to side. Would I be able to drive forward and spin the brushes at the same time? Probably a stupid question I’ve never had one of these machines before.
Good job Bro but I have to say that black dot on the camera lens drove me fucking nuts !!! LOL
Peace brother
SMITTY
Sorry man!! I burned my lens with the welder that day! I got a new one for all my later videos! Thanks for watching man!
Greetings, I would like to have my S205 refurbished. Cost is more of a priority than time. Can you recommend someone near the west coast (California)? Thanks
Sorry I am from the east coast and don’t know anyone out that way
Any close to Tn
How often are bobcats so rusty they are no good? I’d like to restore one as well.
I’ve never seen one that wasn’t rusty at this age. But the metal is so thick it doesn’t really make a difference on function. As long as the mechanicals work they are good to go!
I did the same exact restoration on same machine but i enclosed the cab with a custom door and side glass. The machine is for sale if anyone is interested. 8 K
That’s awesome!
Looks good, too bad you put the blue stripes and 743 on by measuring off the back even… they actually don’t follow that line… they should be 90 degrees from the frame above the wheels…. So the 743 ends up parallel with the “fender” line… yours ended up angled back on the bottom of the blue stripe. In a way it gives it an aggressive look I guess… but yea lots of work doing these.
Bummer! Oh well it’s staying the way it is haha, next Resto I’ll make it right in 30 years
Though I think I know the answer but what’s the purpose of the tow hitches on either side of the cab?
They are for tying the machine down to a trailer with binders and chains
Oh wait I thought you meant on the back. On the front of the machine the tow balls are for a backhoe attachment
How to fix 753 traction gear(1999),how much will cost to fix?
I’m not sure I’ve never gotten into those repairs on this machine
At 11:45 to 11:50 there is a figure that movies slowly in the background. Can’t make out what it is.
Good eye! It’s a robot! Or just an auto camera slider
Where did you get your Decals?
Ebay
Why not change the tires to a like tank flat tires.
Do you mean run flats? Or tracks?
location and cost to do this again :)
$5000
Hope the bucket doesn't come down on you! Safety!
Thanks, it was all good, but yea I should have probably blocked it up
Ya should've left it brown and just called it "THE TURD"...
I like that idea
