| ran my bobcat for about 10 minutes today. when i parked it i noticed some green stuff on the ground. then i noticed some antifreeze leaking from the upper left hand corner of the engine compartment and a little but on top of the radiator itself, all on the left side....just a radiator leak or could it be something worse? machine runs fantastic, i don't think i have a crack or anything. |

| also, it should be ok for light use as long as i keep the coolant reservoir full right? no hard work, just moving stuff around my shop/yard. |

| I found the leak, it is on the top left corner of the radiator, again looking at it from the rear. I saw coolant bubbling out of a tiny pin hole. I can access it very easily just by taking off the cover, it's right there. Is there a way to weld the hole? The coolant is just fizzing out It could have been doing it a while and I didn't notice very small.......how do I know if the thermostat is right? It goes up and down as it should but I'm concerned now. Thanks |

| you guys really are the best. is it normal for the coolant to be kinda fizzy coming out of the hole? it wasnt like that yesterday but it was today |

| just ran the machine in my garage for half hour to pinpoint leak and saw nothing . the day i saw the leak it was on an incline. but i still saw it fizzing out. today, nothing at all. kinda odd. maybe the hydraulics have to be running more to make it come out? |

| bobcat sells the regular hook mounts and sells the balls that bolt ONTO the hook mounts, so one bracket does all backhoes |

| it should fit, but i don't think the ball mounts bobcat sells will fit an 863, but i could be wrong. you may just have to fab up some brackets with 2" balls. |

| engage hydaulics and push boom down to and it will line itself up. be careful, it helps to have a 2nd person. |
