Why do you suspect the alternator? Have you checked the output? Put a meter across the battery terminals when running at fast idle and it should be 14.5volts and no less than 13. Poor cold start is usually the heater plugs/ failed heater plug timer or poor battery strength. Start at the beginning and see if the alternator is working OK, then work through the rest. Test the heater plug supply by putting the meter from the plug supply cable to ground when the switch is in cold start position. Should have 12v at least. Make sure both battery cables have good clean connections at both ends to chassis or starter. Most cold start problems can be fixed by careful maintenance and basic systems checks.

Bobcat 641 skidsteer hydraulic problems.

That's one of the first things that came to mind as I was reading through your post; that the system was air-bound. Are there bleeder valves on the system?

In any event here is a website where you can buy the service manual for your skidsteer; https://mypowermanual.com/shop/bobcat/bobcat-641-642-643-skid-steer-loader-service-manual-download-6566135-10-86/

Is there an easy way to change the alternator on my 2000 751 bobcat skidsteer? I am having a hard time accessing it and I need to replace the alternator bracket.

about the easyest way is to have very long arms or you'll have to remove the radiator just like the rest of us short'tys

Bobcat skid steer

I know on a bobcat 773 there are 2 spool lock soleniods. They are on the front of the bucket control valve. They literally lock the valve by a spring loaded pin that goes in a groove on the spool. When they get juiced the pin retracts and that spool can move. One for lift and one for curling the bucket. Check the wires coming out of the solenoids. Unplug them one at a time and see if the code comes right back. That should narrow it down to which one is bad. I changed both but compared ohms.
