Hi,
I was moving some sand yesterday with my Bobcat T180 and found this part on the ground on my travel path. It has a large rubber washer at the end.
Can anyone tell me if it is from my machine and what it is?
Or maybe I'm lucky and it came in the sand I ordered LOL!
Thanks in advance! image_67507201.JPGimage_67225857.JPG

Welcome to HEF @Dgalloy

That looks concerning!
I can't say for sure, but take a good look around our loader frame bucket pivots.
Item #4 looks suspect, bolt is around wrong side though?...:confused:

Further investigation - most likely an engine mounting bolt! :oops: (#8;#9;#11)
It's around the same way as your pic.

Thank you.
I just came in from the shop after figuring out it was an engine mount bolt!
Thank you for the input. I did look around when it first happened but I didn’t see where it was missing.
It’s back in and I’m happy:)
