What Years Was the Bobcat T190 in Production?

The Bobcat T190 compact track loader was manufactured from approximately 2003 through 2011. It belongs to the generation of Bobcat CTLs that preceded the current T-series models (T550, T590, T650, T770, T870).

The T190 was a popular mid-size CTL during its production run, used extensively in construction, landscaping, and utility work. According to Bobcat's model history, the T190 was eventually replaced by the T550 and T590 models as Bobcat updated its CTL lineup with new engine platforms and cab designs.

Because the T190 was widely sold over nearly a decade of production, the installed base remains large enough to sustain aftermarket parts manufacturing. Owners are not facing a parts scarcity problem with this machine.

What Are the Most Common T190 Parts to Replace?

Based on our catalog data, the most frequently ordered T190 parts reflect both routine maintenance needs and the age-related wear patterns of a 15+ year old machine:

• Rubber tracks: The highest-cost routine replacement item on any CTL. T190 track life ranges from 1,000 to 1,500 hours depending on terrain
• Hydraulic hoses: Rubber hoses degrade with age. On a machine manufactured before 2011, hoses may need replacement based on age alone even if the hour count is moderate
• Engine filters: Oil, fuel, and air filters are the most frequently ordered items by volume
• Cylinder seals: Hydraulic cylinder seals harden over time, causing leaks. Seal kits are commonly ordered for lift, tilt, and track tensioner cylinders
• Door glass and cab seals: Glass damage from debris impact and seal deterioration from UV exposure and age
• Undercarriage rollers and idlers: Bearing wear causes wobble and eventually bearing failure in rollers and idlers

What Engine Does the Bobcat T190 Use?

The T190 is powered by a 66hp Kubota diesel engine. Key specifications:

• Power: 66 horsepower
• Type: Kubota diesel, liquid-cooled
• Fuel system: Mechanical fuel injection
• Aftermarket support: The Kubota engine platform has excellent aftermarket parts availability. Filters, gaskets, and engine components are widely stocked

The Kubota engine in the T190 is known for reliability and straightforward serviceability. Like the 863's engine, the mechanical fuel injection system does not require specialized diagnostic equipment for routine maintenance.

How Do I Find the Right Part Number for My T190?

The serial number is your most reliable tool for identifying the correct parts:

1. Locate the serial number plate on the left side of the frame near the rear
2. Record the complete serial number
3. Look it up in Bobcat's online parts catalog to see the exact parts list for your production run
4. Cross-reference OEM numbers with aftermarket equivalents on our Bobcat T190 parts page

The T190 went through engineering revisions during its nearly decade-long production run. Two T190s built several years apart may use different filter numbers or seal specifications for the same component. Your serial number resolves this ambiguity.

If you need help identifying a part, email sales@partsonline.com with your model, serial number, and a description or photo of the component.

What Parts Does the T190 Share with Other Bobcat Models?

The T190 shares some components with other Bobcat machines from the same era, particularly those using the same Kubota engine platform:

• Bobcat T200: The closest CTL relative. The T200 is the higher-spec version in the same generation. Some engine, cab, and hydraulic components overlap
• Bobcat S175/S185: Skid steers from the same era that share the Kubota engine platform. Some engine filters and electrical components may cross over
• Modern T-series (T550, T590): Generally do NOT share parts with the T190. The newer machines use different frames, cabs, and engine platforms

The T190/T200 parts overlap is the most useful for owners. If a part is listed as fitting the T200, it may also fit the T190, but verify using serial numbers for both machines.

What Track Options Are Available for the Bobcat T190?

Rubber track selection for the T190 depends on your primary application. Several options are available in the T190's track size specification:

• Standard tread: General-purpose pattern suitable for mixed surfaces (dirt, gravel, light pavement). The most common choice for versatility
• Block/staggered tread: Better traction on soft, muddy terrain. Trades some pavement performance for grip in wet conditions
• Multi-bar tread: Wider tread bars for reduced ground pressure, suited for turf and landscaping work where surface damage is a concern

When ordering replacement tracks, specify the track width, pitch (distance between tread lugs), and number of links. These three measurements must match the T190's OEM specification. Aftermarket tracks manufactured to these specifications provide comparable performance to OEM tracks at a significantly lower cost.

How Do I Identify My T190 by Serial Number?

The serial number plate on the T190 is located on the left side of the main frame near the rear of the machine. The number identifies your specific production run and determines which parts revision applies.

T190 serial numbers from this era follow an older Bobcat format that differs from the numbering system used on current T-series models. The serial number, combined with the model designation, allows Bobcat's parts system to identify the exact parts specification for your machine.

Keep your serial number accessible. You will need it every time you order parts, whether through a dealer or an aftermarket supplier. Write it down and store it with your operator's manual for quick reference.

What Are Common T190 Maintenance Items and Intervals?

The T190 follows standard Bobcat maintenance intervals, with CTL-specific items added:

Interval	Service Items
Daily	Check fluid levels, inspect tracks for debris and damage, visual undercarriage check
Every 250 hours	Engine oil and filter, grease all fittings, inspect air filter, check track tension
Every 500 hours	Hydraulic filter, fuel filter, air filter replacement, roller and idler inspection
Every 1,000 hours	Hydraulic fluid change, coolant replacement, full undercarriage wear measurement, all hoses inspection

For the T190 specifically, age-based maintenance matters as much as hour-based. A T190 with 2,000 hours but 15 years of age likely needs hose replacement, seal inspection, and thorough undercarriage assessment regardless of the hour count. Rubber components degrade from UV exposure, temperature cycling, and chemical exposure over time.

What Should I Budget for T190 Maintenance Annually?

Annual maintenance costs for the T190 depend on usage, but here is a practical framework:

• Routine filters and fluids: Budget for 2-4 oil changes per year (250-hour intervals), plus annual hydraulic and fuel filter changes. Using aftermarket parts keeps this cost range manageable
• Track replacement reserve: Tracks are the single largest recurring cost on a CTL. Set aside a portion of each year's budget toward the eventual track replacement. At current aftermarket pricing, this is the most significant planned expense
• Undercarriage components: Rollers, idlers, and sprockets wear gradually. Budget for replacing 1-2 rollers per year if the machine sees regular use
• Unplanned repairs: Set aside a reserve for hose failures, glass replacement, or other unexpected items. On an older machine, having a parts budget buffer prevents reactive spending

The T190's mechanical simplicity and strong aftermarket parts availability keep maintenance costs competitive with newer machines. For light to moderate duty applications, the T190 remains an economical machine to operate. Browse our Bobcat compact track loader parts for pricing on common T190 maintenance items.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do T190 rubber tracks last?

T190 rubber tracks typically last 1,000-1,500 hours depending on terrain and operating conditions. Soft soil extends track life, while hard surfaces, sharp turns, and debris exposure shorten it. Proper tension maintenance has the biggest impact on longevity.

What is the difference between the T190 and T200?

The T200 is a higher-specification CTL from the same generation, with more horsepower and slightly higher hydraulic capacity. Many components overlap between the two models, but always verify by serial number before assuming parts compatibility.

Are T190 parts interchangeable with S-series skid steer parts?

Generally no. The T190 uses a different frame, undercarriage, and cab design than modern S-series skid steers. Some engine components may cross over if both machines share the same Kubota engine platform, but model-specific parts are not interchangeable.

Where is the serial number on a Bobcat T190?

The serial number plate is on the left side of the main frame near the rear of the machine. It may be partially obscured by dirt on older units.

What oil type does the Bobcat T190 use?

Consult your operator's manual for the exact oil specification and viscosity grade recommended for your T190's engine and operating temperature range. The Kubota diesel engine uses a standard diesel engine oil meeting the specifications listed in the manual.

Is the T190 still a good machine to buy used?

The T190 can be a practical used purchase if the undercarriage, engine, and hydraulic system are in good condition. Key inspection points before buying: track condition and remaining life, hydraulic system leaks and response time, engine blow-by and oil consumption, and frame condition (cracks or corrosion). Strong aftermarket parts availability makes the T190 economical to maintain long-term.

How do I check T190 track tension?

Place the machine on a level surface. Measure the sag between the front idler and rear sprocket at the mid-point of the track underside. Compare this measurement to the specification in your operator's manual. Adjust the track tensioner to bring it within spec if needed.

Can I convert my T190 to steel tracks?

Steel over-the-tire tracks are designed for wheeled skid steers, not CTLs. The T190 uses purpose-built rubber tracks. Your options for different traction characteristics are limited to different rubber track tread patterns (standard, block, multi-bar) rather than a material change.
