My bobcat has been refitted with virtually the same engine that you have in your tractor I can go out when it's -20f hit the key and within 5 seconds it will fire up and run, and any throttle movement the RPM instantly go up or down, there should not be that lag.

I fly the jet into Boise all the time! That drive is 2000+ miles, I don't see how I could make it work. To truck the tractor would cost a fortune. You are a generous man for offering, maybe I can find someone local with some of your knowledge. That's all I can hope.

Find a local mechanic that will work on it and I'll provide the technical help!
If I can walk someone across the ocean how to repair their tractor I'm sure I can do it even easier here in the USA.
Fly to GEG sometime and I'll buy ya lunch!

I am working on it. All if the mechanics around here seem to be hydro ignorant. I may try to tackle this myself. I would gladly take all of the help that I can get if you are up for it?

We fly into KBOI. Boise is a beautiful place.

OH if you think Boise is beautiful you would fall all over yourself up here, we make them look like a wasteland!

And yes would be more than happy to help you get it going!

Where do I start on this thing? I want to figure out the hydro issue first? Pull the axle on the side that has no brake? Would you be willing to discuss this a little tomorrow via telephone?

I would seriously SHOP hard for a reasonable $ way to get your tractor hauled up to NIW.
"Cheappilot" is one word..... I know.....I ARE one!
You will drive yourself crazy trying to fix your machine yourself!

It's 2000+ miles. Most haulers are 3.50-5.00 a loaded mile. I would be better off taking the 10k and buying a new tractor. Do that math on that one. I have worked on engines, cars, and even hydros on mowers for years. I'm mechanically inclined and I like to learn.

 

[North Idaho Wolfman]

I'll PM you my details.

Got the other way. Pick up Wolfman for a joy ride to your place, take a decent look at it.

I would suspect that you could do a whole lot better on that pricing....particularly if you could find an empty back haul.

I got a quote last year to have the LMTV M1078 hauled from Seattle to Kalispell. It's a 16,000lb vehicle that's 21ft long, 8ft wide and 9ft tall and I was looking at $6k - $7k with extra cost for any delays. Forget that!

I made up a tow bar for my Jeep, drove the 8-1/2 hours to Seattle, stayed at a nice hotel for the night and drove the LMTV and Jeep the 600 miles home with an overnight stop at a friend's place in Kettle Falls, WA. Total cost including the tow bar was around $600.

I could fly him down for around 500.00 round trip.

I've been know to travel a time or two to fix things.

I have a renter in my second home or I would put you up in the neighboring house free of charge. You could enjoy Amish County for a few days!!!

 

[North Idaho Wolfman]

We'll try the remote control repair method first!
If that doesn't work, I throw the tools, the wolf, and myself in the truck and head that way!

WOW !!!!

NIW is a very generous individual. Always goes the extra mile to help newbs and regulars, alike. There are others who do so, also, but he stands out day after day.

 

[loggin]

That is certainly very generous and kind of Wolfman!! And please keep us informed as to what you find and what the solution is!!!
