Hello all, I am a new member on here so cut me some slack Im pretty hand with a spanner. (in other words i dont mind tackling most jobs) Im ok with electrics (can trace wiring faults but not circuit faults) I know NOTHING about hydraulics (nor bobcats for that matter) I work on a Farm near where i live, and we have a Bobcat 553 Advantage series. (Normal cab - not deluxe, basic controls) It has roughly 2500 hours on it. The lights do not work (any of them, including instruments ) The lift arms are squealing and i cant seem to find any grease nipples on them. So five questions in total 1) Wheres the serial number on the machine? (for identifying the exact model) 2) Wheres the fusebox!? :Banghead 3) Where are the grease nipples? (arms and any others?:beatsme) 4) Is there anywhere i can aquire/digitally borrow a users or workshop manual? 5) Is there anywhere i can aquire/digitally borrow a wiring diagram? Thanks all Dusan
the fuse panel is in the back by the engine on the right side i believe either under some 1 1/2 covers or under a cover with 2 bolts that take a half in wrenc to take off grease zerts which are on all bobcat's including the old ones are on the rod ends of the cylinders the barrel ends and any where else the lift arms and bobtach move the service manuls if you have a good dealer they will photo copy them fro you maybe not the whole book but a book you can order through parts for around 85 dollars and get the service manual that tells you how to take everthing apart wiring diagrams and hyd schematices
sorry the serial number plate is by your feet on the r/s of the machine
What sort of grease would you reccomend? I have Ironsides, Lithoshield EP2 availible. Will this suffice?
