I can’t edit the previous post. The pics didn’t load right as you can see, so here’s the rest.
Well, it seems I can’t add pics in a reply to my own post. Hal must be one paranoid person.
I guess it’s a sign of old age when you become intolerant of things that don’t function as they should.
I already quit TBN. But that was a different story.

bob did you figure anything on the ford truck problem?
Yes I did. What I thought was going to be a $25k engine replacement turned out to be a $20 alternator rear bearing. What I determined is that when alternators are mounted rigidly to the engine instead of on brackets, any alternator sounds will be manifested as engine sounds, and at a much greater magnitude. I had hand-spun the alternator and it seemed fine while I was replacing the coolant pump, both belt tensioners and idlers, and both serpentine belts.
So on another note, I was going to replace all my turn signal light bulbs with LED’s because the regular 3157 bulbs burn up the plastic sockets. Ok, so I purchase an electronic flasher that’s supposed to fit a ’99 to ’11 Ford Super Duty. HA! I tear the underside of the dash apart only to discover that ’08 to ’11 trucks don’t use flashers at all, they have what is called a Smart Junction Box (SJB). The hyper flashing or “bulb out” indicator can be turned off with a laptop computer connected to the CAN-bus at a dealer………….. for a fee <sigh>.

yes you said it is a 610 series skid steer but when I looked them up they ran a 4 cylinder Wisconsin . I have a 2 cylinder Wisconsin with no references in the history at Bobcat about that engine. All the fuel and hydro. pump attachments look like factory , like it is a original engine. Maybe it will have the same model # even though the engine is not covered . We shall see when I get the serial #. Then find out what the real model # is. Glad it was just a alt. bearing. Things that make you shake your head , I have a 2008 ford ranger with a 2.3 the daughter has a 2008 ford fusion with a 2.3 mine has spark plugs hers has permeant electronic ignitors. oil filters are different too. remember when if you had a same year and displacement 99% of the time they were the same, things were simpler then. yeah dash out not fun.

Ok, didn’t know you had a two cylinder engine. That changes things. You likely have an early 1963 model M444 which came with a 15.5 HP two cylinder Onan engine, or a later ’63 model M500 or M540 which came with a 24 HP two cylinder air cooled Kohler engine. The Four cylinder 24 HP Wisconsin engines didn’t appear until ’67 in the model M600.

well it seems that I do have a model 500 skid steer . But instead of the 2 cylinder pancake 24 hp k662 kohler that it should have someone did I my opinion a very good job putting a Wisconsin tjd 2 cylinder in line 18 hp in it.(it looks original, even the old paint matches ) some of the mystery solved.
