Can anyone please tell me how part #: 6705089 LIFT ARM STOP Was 6700615 is mounted on the lift arm? I was able to find a used part of it but can't figure out how it mounts on the lift arm. The hydraulic lines are on the bottom of the lift arm and it tucks against those but I don't see what holds it in place while it's not being used.

I think it had op clips for it inside the engine door

Oh wow. I thought it was the type that was mounted right up by the cylinder on the lift arm itself. No idea it was mounted on the back door like that. Thank you for the picture! The support I have is the new style - the style that DOES mount on the lift arm - since the part number was replaced by the newer style. I guess I'll just have to leave it in the barn then until I need to use it. I looked at the Bobcat site and saw the shaft that is at the front of it - it rotates around that but I still dont see how the back of it is held in place on the lift arm. Ahy help I would appreciate. Thank you!
On my 743B there is a piece of 1/4" steel about 1" wide X 1 1/2" long with a hole in it, welded between the hydraulic lines. There is a slot toward the rear of the stop. In the stowed position the welded piece goes through the slot and a pin goes through the stop and the welded piece. I'd post a picture if I could figure out how. Bill B

On the early model 743's the lift arm support was an option and was stored in the door like the first picture I posted. On the later models it was standard equipment and the lift arm had the tab shown in the picture below to lock it in the stored position.
Also it looks like there was a hole in the lift arm to mount the support to.

To post images they need to hosted on the net somewhere, then you can just copy and paste the actual image(not the link) to the post.

Thanks Machinist. I clearly have an older model that should have had the support located in the door. The door has holes in it - but no brackets and no support. The newer style support I have that I got used is like the one in the picture above. My lift arm does not have the rod at the front nor the bracket at the back. So, I have an older style lift arm with a newer style lift arm support. I guess I'll be storing it in the barn. Thank you for the photos - it cleared up all my questions related to this! And thank you for the clarification on the other points. God bless!
