Thanks I greatly appreciate the information/advice. I have been procrastinating on this repair but need to get it done. I am not sure but I think the hard lines are NPT but am not 100% sure. The Pioneer connectors that it came with leak badly if anything is connected to them. I want to change to...

No one?

Can anyone confirm that the exterior hydraulic are 1/2 npt?

Thanks for the information. I am a bit skeptical about using the motor to tighten the sprocket bolt, not saying it doesn't work or isn't valid just seems like something I could do safely. I will give that some thought. I was/am thinking more like long cheater bar. Can you (or someone) tell me if...

Hello all - I signed up to this site some time ago when I bought my 853 but I don't think I ever posted much. The machine has been awesome and I use it frequently for small jobs on the property, however I started to notice that 2 of the wheel seals were bad and I knew I had a bad bearing on the...

I would post a picture of what I am talking about but am not sure how to post them in here.

Thanks, I just called Bobcat and they basically said the same thing. Not that I am questioning anyone but it seems somewhat difficult to pry the adler/tensioner up and tighten the bolt at the same time. Also, what keeps the adler from moving side to side (perhaps there is a channel there, but I...

I threw the belt on my 853 which actually had become 3 belts. I purchased a new belt from Bobcat and then set about repairing it. As part of this process I removed the fixed tensioner to inspect it, what I found were bearings that had gone bad, so I called Bobcat. Turns out they didn't have...
