Hello all, I'm looking for a little assistance with my Snap-On box. I love this set up for it's narrow foot print and variety of drawers. Plus it was quite a hunt to find the middle box. However of the three pieces, they're all either missing the keys or the locks, the top box (KR537D) is...

And we have the finished product... Now it's just small things to worry about, I've got a few scratches in the paint to touch up, maybe clean up the wiring a little more, and the right (passenger) side clutches need to get dialed back just a little bit. Oh and I'll paint the rims the...

Thanks for the responses everyone, Mandres - The hydraulic pump is driven by belt/pulley off the engine shaft. I'll take a close up of it the next time I'm messing around with it. Back to it, I remade most of the rear compartment cover. I wanted to close it all up just to button up the whole...

With the boom done, time to start tearing into the guts and replacing bearings, races, seals. One of the major issues with the Bobcat was leaking hub seals on both rear axles. Unfortunately to replace them, everything but the upper jackshaft needs to get removed, and since I'm replacing the...

After having the engine mocked up, I finished modifying the plate. After stripping it, I plugged all of the existing mounting holes. Ground all the plug welds smooth... Drilled the new holes and countersunk each hole so that the bolt heads are flush with the bottom of the plate...

Way over due for an update, project is almost complete so let's play catch up here. As I kept removing parts, I found more and more broken pieces or parts that were on the last leg of their life. Most of the hard-piped hydraulics were horribly rusted, so I removed everything...

With the outsides welded, I went around and touched up the backs, then ground everything out, here's the finished "drivers" side... And the "passenger" side With that done, I moved to the seat tray. The part directly under the seat was in pretty rough shape. No saving anything...

Hello all, I finished up my front porch project(you can check it out on my other thread) so progress was slow on the 371, managed to sneak in a little bit of work though. I concentrated on fixing the holes the previous owner cut in the fenders. I think he was try to get at the jack shaft...

zkdiesel - Thanks man, I hope everything will too. Bimmer1980 - All of the drive components are mechanical, apparently it's pretty crazy in there, the parts guy I talked to at my local Bobcat dealer compared it to a swiss watch haha. The 371 weighs in at just over 1900lbs. That's a nice size...

Thanks for the responses everyone... Farmall1066 - Sorry to hear that but glad to see you're still here! Definitely need to watch yourself in it. The narrow wheel base is great, but it sure does make the machine tippy. zkdiesel - I plan on putting an 18hp Kohler in it, more on that below...

Hello all, thought I'd start a new thread since some of you might find this project interesting. Quick bit of background, I'd been on the look out for a skidloader for awhile, specifically one small enough that it will fit on the inside of my 2 1/2 car garage with both vehicles parked inside as...

Gahrajmahal - Thanks for following along, to be honest, attaboys' or not, I'm just happy to share. This website is awesome beyond words, there is such a wealth of knowledge and ideas here it's unbelievable and it's a great resource. What I'm sharing might not be as glamorous or interesting as...

Real quick, I got the front porch bump out poured as well. Like I said before, mixer worked out and it was a breeze. 1/2" rebar cage tied into the rest of the porch, forms are 3/4" plywood with 2x4 backing. Everything was anchored with duplex nails jammed with tie wire, easy to...

So got the mixer all finished up, it was a whirlwind to complete unfortunately so not everything is documented thoroughly, but here's what I've got. This is the motor mount plate, made out of 1/4", 4-1/2" hole in the middle for the motor to rest in. The oblong holes around it are all for the...

Thanks for the responses guys! Fixed - I plan on keeping it, it'll be a handy thing to have around, plus I'm pretty sure I can find enough side jobs to use it on. On top of that, I'm an operator, so it's pretty cool to have your own machine, at least in my mind haha. 1/2 Cup - Thanks for...
