Bobcat Resurrection

admin

I aquired a late 70s early 80s Bobcat 610 from a farmer that I did some work for. It was a swap for work and parts. He told me that the machine needed a new motor and he just wanted to scrap it. I took it back to my house and me and my father (owner of our company) go it going in about 30 min. The engine was 180 degrees out of time. Once we got it running we decided that we could go ahead and bring it back to life as a working machine. We have so far invested about 500 dollars into the machine, including the amount of work and parts we traded it for. I am now tearing into it an "puffing it up" a little to make it operate better and also look a little better.Here is where it stands now, basically day one of the rebuild. There is some welding to be done on various areas and I will post those pictures to keep this thread welding related.
