  1. Overhead Door Rsx Operator Manual

Does anyone have any idea where I can obtain any type of manuals for a Ransomes Bobcat T 22 Diesel with the FM74R deck? I service several of these old units, but pretty much have to wing it. I found a factory parts book, but could use a service manual or even an owners manual may have much of the info that I need. I would especially like to obtain a copy of a wiring diagram for it, as over the years, things have been bypassed or rewired incorrectly. It would also be very helpful to have the factory recommendations for lubrication points and intervals, as well as other regular service recommendations. I have tried contacting Bobcat directly several times.

I get no response from any one there, neither from customer service nor from parts. They obviously have no interest in helping any of their old customers to keep their machines running. Apparently, and somewhat understandably, their interest seems to lie in providing assistance to customers who have purchased new equipment. Seems a shame though, because what better advertising can you get than a loyal customer using an original, older piece of your equipment because they swear by it's durability.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Fred. Does anyone have any idea where I can obtain any type of manuals for a Ransomes Bobcat T 22 Diesel with the FM74R deck?

Is it a fm74s deck with the offset ( drive box offset to the right looking back at mower deck from front ) or center drive?? Also your going to have to pull a drive pulley from a spindle to find out if its tapered or not ( the replacement is tapered so the pulley has to be changed if the old unit shaft end is straight ) complete spindle is #146064 ( hard to find and last time I priced was around $290 ea if the tower is good,rebuilding them is easier, the taperd spindle is different than the straight on parts but I buy the bearings/seals by the numbers on them ( motion industries ).
