    bobcat 763 f series locked up

    I have a 763C with a Sauer-Danfoss hydrostatic pump. I downloaded the Service Manual from the Sauer-Danfoss website. I was surprised to read that you can open the four bypass valves to allow the machine to free wheel. This is not documented in the Bobcat Service manual. I have not tried the...

    BICS Issue- Bobcat 753 Series C

    Did you try cleaning out everything from under the seat and any frozen snow in the seat tracks? You wouldn't be the first to find the seat is not moving down to allow the seat sensor to activate.

    Towing a bobcat 773G

    It depends upon the hydrostatic pump. I have a 763C with a Sauer Danfoss hydrostatic pump. I downloaded the service manual from the Sauer Danfoss website. The manual describes the procedure to allow the pump to bypass allowing the drive motors to "free wheel". You also have to remove the...

    What Attachments Do You Use?

    When I bought my Stanley hammer it had a very small leak. I took it to the local Stanley Authorized Repair Center which is about 1/2 hour from me and had them replace the seals. They also found that the accumulator was bad, so they also replaced the accumulator diaphragm and seals it and did a...

    Lifted a log straight up

    That looks to me like he grabbed the butt of a log with it pointing straight away (like a battering ram) and then tried to point it up to the sky. When the log fell to the left it would twist the clamp sideways. It sure does not appear that he had the log gripped with both clamps.

    Skid Steer Attachment Crazy ?

    Count me in. Attachments add to the types of things you can do or do more efficiently. I used to attend a lot of equipment auctions. When I found attachments I could use with my loader that were in good shape and selling for significantly less than current market value, I added to my...

    flat faced coupler connection issues

    I have had the same issue with my 4in1. You have a few options: 1. Add a T-fitting and a small needle valve. You can open the valve and release the pressure before you try to connect. 2. Try a set of Parker IF Series flat face couplers (See page 14). These are flat face couplers you can...

    763 Starting problem

    As long as the motor is not locked up and the battery will pass a load test, I suggest you check the cables followed by the starter. If you have already cleaned the connections on both ends of the battery cables, you may want to bypass them with jumper cables. Even if you test the voltage at...

    763 Bobtach Wear

    My 763 was the same way when I bought it. I measured the amount of play and removed the QuickTach and measured the diameter of the pins. I bought shim washers at the local FleetFarm. You can buy the washers in different thicknesses. I bought a couple different thicknesses and stacked them...

    Slope meter setup

    The three things I would check: 1. Tire pressures on both sides. 2. Make sure the glass vial is not loose in the housing. 3. Check if the cab is shifting on its mounts. You could also try the SlopeMeter from the 730 in the Maulden. If it does the same thing, the issue is in the mount...

    Any experience with Construction Attachments, attachments?

    I have a 76". It is an older model. No issues other than replacing the hoses when they got ratty. On mine all the cutting edges are welded in. Virnig Manufacturing makes a 4in1 with bolt in edges. If you anticipate a lot of wear, you may want to look for one with bolt in edges.

    Bobcat t190 power loss ...new motor , maybe turbo ?

    I asked about the head because I have read that Kubota manufactures this engine (and other models) with either direct or indirect injection heads. I don't know if the heads require different pistons or whether the heads require different supporting parts. My comments were based on the...

    Bobcat t190 power loss ...new motor , maybe turbo ?

    I'm not a diesel mechanic, however since this started after you changed the head: Are you sure the new head is the same as the one you replaced? Can a thicker head gasket significantly change the compression? Have you checked the valve clearance? Swapping out a head is not too involved...
