Re: Bobcat 313 rebuild
Posted: Sun Sep 24, 2023 5:44 pm
Once the bolts were removed the chain case almost slid off but for the 2 pins at the top keeping it in place. With trepidation I took the cover off and I was very pleasantly surprise to see a chain case with very little rust indeed.
It would seem that these are new chains and possibly new clutches but looking at the teeth it seems that there has been some catastrophic chain failure at some point.
A point of concern was on the inside of the chain cover on the left side. The witness marks of the chain? I can’t be sure if the axial is somehow moving up and down pushing the sprocket up and down causing the chain too strike the cover?
I am not sure how this comes apart and I am wondering if anyone has or knows where I can get a parts manual for the 313. I have downloaded the manual from this site but it doesn’t show the chain case. Bobcat list a parts manual on their website but when you try and purchase it, they tell you that it is no longer available?
If anyone has a parts manual that I could acquire from them or knows where I could download a copy please let me know.
