Bobcat... well sorta. I believe someone else actually manufactured them for bobcat, but thats who they were all ordered through. Manufacturererer may have been Earthforce Equiptment?

That was back when IR owned Bobcat and then they bought Earthforce. They split up the Earthforce line and badged the smaller ones as Bobcats and the larger ones as either Earthforce or IR depending on what dealer they were sending them to.

Cool thanks for the info, sounds like I had things 50%ish right.

Fwiw, I've bought a bobcat and a travel trailer off of Shane, nice stuff, better than advertised, he's found me a few trucks out his way, one he delivered for me, and a dumptruck I drove 900 miles home, would happily do business again

Equipment rarely has a date code anywhere on it, across all brands I've worked on, bobcat, deere, cat, volvo, Komatsu etc
And serial numbers sometime aren't publicly posted, but sent privately, up to the seller.
There is some concern that a thief could find good numbers on the web of a sister machine and use that to clone his stolen machine, potentially causing issues for a legit seller. I'm sure he'd be happy to send that to you privately.
Fucker lives way to far away from me but if he didn't, there have been some deals he's posted up that I would have jumped on. I trust the flat biller alot more than I would buying used equipment off some rando on FB Marketplace.

If you pay 2big bronco he'll still meet you in the middle of the night in a sketchy neighborhood to consumate the deal, that way you can still pretend it's some rando.

Onto the quirks it has.
One lift cylinder on the loader weeps... but that is the only leak I know of.
The bucket curl and the 2nd ram up on the backhoe bleed off 7 out of 10 times. I think the control valve is hanging open just a hair but I havnt done anything to actually diagnose it.
The seat is a cheapy china one that looks good but feels flimsy
Its got a walmart battery that works fine but is slightly to large for the batterey box.
