Been working on the B.O.A.T. yesterday afternoon and part of today. No pics, but another $210, and its FINALLY running right.
Had to replace the trigger module and CDI module(power pack).
Got the rats nest of hacked up wiring stripped out and new front "fog lamps" bolted on.
Hope to get the new switch console and some accesory lights etc mounted and wired tomorrow if the rain isnt too bad.

Well you're already mis-spelling words and using poor Grammer and punctuation. So I guess I'll be tagging in @dall at that point.
you cant teach him anything lol

I aint tryin to tell ya howta run your skid steer bub, but watch backing up, especially when the buckets down back dragging. Pushes the arse end lower.
I smooshed up the tailgate on my other 95 Ferd pretty good by misjudging once. Luckily, it was down, so the rest of the bed didnt get smooshed.
I probably pushed the whole truck 2 or 3 feet before I noticed. :eek::oops::mad:
Little Gehl track loader gives no fuggs.
i told him to only put huskies there

counterweight and to keep from damaging his door

It’s dem got dam red tips…them mf’rs drop like a damn Magnolia, with the exception of about two months a year. I’m gonna cut them *b-wordhes down, what’s gonna end up happenin’.
so this time next year you will still be complaining about them ?

Rock grapple is where its at.
Wanted one myself, but the 4 in 1 does more stuff(just not anything really well). It does what I need it to for the size of this place.
I'm guessing that Bobcat is around 100 hp machine?
Mines only 65. Its a tracked machine, and that works well for here. No snow/ice.

Yes, I've been looking for a tracked mechanics special. Might have to sail the old Deere to buy one.

Mine is only 40hp. Mitsubishi. From what I can gather I could retrofit a slightly more powerful diesel without having to do anything with the pumps and such. I can't complain, I got it for a great price and it does more than it probably should.

Kubota diesel would probably go in there without much trouble.
I THINK thats what the later ones used.
Isnt yours one of the "transition" models when Melroe was bought by Bobcat(Textron?)?
Be lucky you dont have one of the really old ones with a Wisconsin motor or some such.

I probably wouldn't have bought it if it had the Wisconsin.
Yeah, it's a model from one of the weird years, the engine door has the Ingersoll Rand logo along with the bobcat logo and the r.o.p.s has a Melroe decal..
I think production was late 80's through early 90's on that model.
