Metric or SAE Bobcat

2510Paul · Apr 10, 2020

I purchased a used, 340 hour, 2014 E35i Bobcat Compact Excavator last winter. Kubota Engine. In has been in storage at a location remote from my home. So as to take the right tools with me to check-change fluids, are these Metric, SAE, or a mix of fasteners? Thanks. This is my first experience with Bobcat. Paul

We have an older 1998 751 skid steer and everything on it is metric but it wouldn?t hurt to take both of you have it

Can't tell you about the rest of it but the Kubota engine is all metric.

Like the guy says everything on the engine is metric. Most of the oil pan drains are 14 mm , and the oil filter will be metric threads. If you get me the engine model I will give you filter numbers or go to NAPA filter site and get your numbers.

Likely metric as others have said.

But before you leave all your SAE tools at home remember people often will substitute a SAE bolt and nut for a metric one when it is all they have handy.
(skid plates, access panels etc)

Quite common as well for someone to rethread a stripped out hole to whatever next size is close, maybe standard maybe metric.
