Awesome! It worked. My tensioner doesn't look like your original tensioner, or the one in the manual. It just goes from 0° to 25°. Maybe they cheaped out on that part. Maybe my dealer will give me a new one or replace it. They told me it is under warranty. 1000 hours or 6 months, something like that. Either way the level of ease it looks to be to replace, I'm happy, i appreciate you taking the time to show it
Another issue I have had on all pullies is the bearing will go bad and the belt will drag across the pully, that is usually a constant noise. Good job on that fix!!
Noo you have to remove the hydraulic pump to change the belt. I was very happy that the new tensioner fixed the squeak. I think the machine has more power now too.
0:29 Please tell your Bobkitten to stop dragging it's claws on the chalkboard... It's EXTREMELY Irritating... 0:35 BAD KITTY! NO CATNIP FOR YOU!!! 1:02 That's IT! One more out of you and I get the Fire Hose out!!!
Why not contact the Bobcat dealer and let them listen to the noise over the phone with an explanation from you re symptoms?? Instead of randomly guessing the issue??
It wasn't a random guess. I saw the belt was a little bit loose and replaced the tensioner. This would explain the squeak and the loss of power. Nailed it.
@@GCFD OK, you had access to the belt. In the case of my clothes dryer, I didn't without uninstalling it. So I recorded the dryer running and fed it back to the repair firm I use. They told me it was crud on the fan motor pulley. So I pulled the appliance out. There was some buildup of lint in clumps on the pulleys which was removed. The squeak was in a carrier bearing b/w the motor driveshaft and the motor pulley. So my tensioner was fine, it would have been a wrong guess. Anyway, glad it worked out.

I didn't know I would enjoy Fred Armisen's personal vlogs so much
👍
Just so happened you uploaded as I was looking for your channel!
Haha, Nice! It's late here but I wanted to get it published tonight.
Congrats on fixing it!! I would have guessed it to be the track. Thanks for sharing!
Haha I thought it was the track too! I swapped the tracks as a first step. It was way easier to change the tensioner! Hindsight is 50/50!
Another issue I have had on all pullies is the bearing will go bad and the belt will drag across the pully, that is usually a constant noise. Good job on that fix!!
thank you!
I guessed it fixed the problem by the very slight smile upon your face.
Hahah. That squeaking was super annoying and the skid has more power now. I'm pleased.
Great job Shawn. Have a good weekend.
Thank you Brent as always!
from the Netherlands thanks for the video
Thank you for watching! - Shawn
Ok Shawn, now your just showing off with those donuts
I swear the machine has more power now!
I’m going to try this as my squeak is horrible
That awkwardly placed tensioner bolt looks to be addressable via that side panel under the right lift arm. May help in the future.
I hope I don't have to revisit in the future! Overall it was a pretty straightfoward job.
My MT100 same thing
Where can I find more videos about a mini bobcat
Yes 👍🏻
👍
The nib is likely to catch a tool to adjust the tension before the bolt is torqued down.
👍
No more squeaky noise 👍
👍👍 It feels like it has more power too.
Nice work shawn
Thank you!
I'm going to try adjusting the tensioner to 23 deg like the manual states first. 😅
Sounds great Chuck!
@@GCFD worked perfect. Adjusted the tensioner and no more slippage.
It fixed the squeek
👍
All that work to get the tensioner off, did a new belt go back on?
Noo you have to remove the hydraulic pump to change the belt. I was very happy that the new tensioner fixed the squeak. I think the machine has more power now too.
@@GCFD oh I see. LOL..bit more involved. 😳
no way... are those ebay things selling? That's impressive!
I have placed a few things like that on ebay. Drainage flare.
I thought the lil tiny squeak I hear was bad lol. I may be overanalyzing like I usually do. My machine is at 27 hours
👍
looks like a Saab sonnet engine compartment
👍
Lucky you got it fixed, it would of drived you off the wall 😂
👍
looks like there's something missing mate..im sure one bolt to hold the tensioner in is wrong..
I hear ya, That's how it is held on though.
Should have put a rag in exhaust hole
Would have been bad to drop something down that big hole
I was waiting for that comment! I was careful but great suggestion Peter! Thanks, Shawn
You made Chucks at Apple drains top five drainage channels in his latest video. Should help push followers from him over to you I’d guess.
Wow! I am going to check that out! Thanks for sharing Buckeye! - Shawn
Edit can you send a link?
@@GCFD th-cam.com/video/1kZRrTdQvsM/w-d-xo.html at the end
I just watched it! He didn't give my full name though! Chuck has complimented a few of my projects. It's pretty cool that he watches my stuff!
Are you sure you couldn't just appease the machine spirit with an open can of WD40 at night.
👍 haha
You don't need to keep saying "This is shawn" in all of your videos.
Thanks for letting me know.
I was thinking, why is he cleaning the old tensioner. Do people actually buy this stuff ?😵
We will find out! I thought I'd place it out there in case anyone is interested. 👍
@@GCFD $7 for shipping, $0.85 for the ebay gods. :)
