![]() ![]() Then remove the cover off the inside of the axle, loosen the nut that holds the sprocket to the axle (best if oil is removed so you can see it),remove the castelated nut on end of the axle, and then slide the axle out. Then loosen the intermediate and final drive chains (again the manual will help). You will have to first take the side cover off the side you want to repair. ![]() The axle seal is a little more difficult. Not a difficult job if you have a manual to help you along. If you have to continually hold it forward to maintain a higher speed, you will have to replace 3 small o-rings in the variable speed control valve. You increase the travel speed of the Bobcat by pushing and holding the variable speed lever forward until you reach the speed you desire. Some other odds and ends to sort out, battery hold down, cover panel over hydraulics missing, lots of paint work needed, complete service needed, figure out filters etc for it, need to order a toothbar for it, but all in all, I think it will work. Anyone know where the original seat belt bolted on? Thinking of adding an adjustable fore and aft type seat so that I have some different positions when the wife or I drive. Now aint that fun! Anyone seen this? Anyone seen better repairs than just welding it back to original? Was thinking of adding on a 1/8" wear plate where the loader hits the frame there, I think that is what actually made it crack. The right side frame where the two halves are welded together forming a tank is cracked, Oh boy, get to weld up a tank of hyd fluid full of fluid. Thoughts or advice? Looks pretty straight forward, will wait on the manual to start though. Must change the right wheel spindle seal, fairly steady drip. OK, have spent some time now looking at it and cleaning and picking at it. Otherwise you could end up with a 600, an older machine with 25 HP VF4D Wisconson engine that is harder to rebuild. Make sure the serial number plate (located between and behind your legs as you sit on the machine) says 610 and is a six digit number starting with a "2". If you are looking for a modestly priced skidloader that is easy to work on, the 610 Bobcat is your answer. They are 30 HP machines with 1000 lb lift capacity. They are very easy to work on, incredibly agile and could work circles around my Kubota 元430 in most applications. The 610 was the latest and most heavy duty of these clutch driven Bobcats manufactured from 1971 to 1981. My 1963 444 Bobcat, along with being a classic, is still my machine of choice when operating in tight conditions (no offense Kubota 元430 HSTC w/723 FEL sitting next to it in the shed). ![]() This series of models was manufactured for almost 20 years. The Melroe 610 Bobcat along with its predecessors, the 444, 500 and 600, started the skidsteer revolution. ![]()
