I have a 96 233 hd with a blown seal on the input shaft on the rear pump(closest to engine) I have been to dealer repeatedly in an attempt to get the seal from them and was told by them that the Thomas rep told them to tell me that "its an Eaton pump tell him to go talk to them" The Eaton rep...

Prince George B.C. Canada

The fire was contained mostly to the fuel tank and hydralic area, the cab is totally gutted and destroyed. The back side of the engine( the door side) is almost normal, the filters didn't even burn up or even melt actually. If anyone has any interest I can post some pics of the machine if they...

had a service truck that did the same thing, ended up being the air filter was plugged and was collapsing the hose to the manifold causing it to essentially flood itself. Not to sure how the intake is on that machine but it might be worth a look.

Any value/interest in a burneed out 853c? 45 minutes after getting it back from the local dealer to have plugged fuel lines from tank replaced machine caught fire. Frame is still good but not much alse as it took a while for fire department to get here. Funny thing is dealer says it's not their...

had mine frozen and found that it helped to have the bucket tilted almost all the way forward then put down pressure on it, seemedto take some of the drag off the pin and made ponding it out easier. Down side to it is someone hasto be in the machine and are stuck in it till your done or you have...

definately need someone with thinner arms then, thats what I have been doing and still no luck

still no luck finding the pickup line on the tank, anyone got a diagram or do I need to enlist the help of someone with thinner arms than mine? I can see where the filler hose goes in and I can reach to just past that but still no luck. Right about now I'd sure like to get a hold of the moron...

Has anyone got a diagram or can tell me where the fuel pickup is on a '91 853c? I am one of the lucky ones with the tank under the main pump but am not able to find where the line goes into the tank. Right now I can get it to idle but little more than that. It is collapsing the primer bulb even...

I have been using a set of V-bar chains on my 853 for 2 years now. I only have them on the back tires as I don't havea blade but a GP bucket with a cutting blade on it and spend most of my time plowing with the front tires off the ground anyways. Improvement in traction is like night and day...

The truck may do it a few times but you need to be realistic here, the kind of weight you are planning on hauling is right at or just over what your truck is designed to do. Translation is it is going to be very hard on it, transmission will probabbly require extra cooling right off the bat to...

I am extremly happy with my 853c, except for the alternator needing to be replaced I have just put fuel in it and done regular servicing to it. It is an older one but I have the isuzu engine in mine jdt-4 or something like that I think. Manual is in the bedroom and wife is still sleeping so...

My advice is to get a laywer, going to be cheaper than the 8 grand to replace the motor. If you have a printout of the trouble codes from hour 1 on this machine then it is up to Bobcat to prove that you somehow did something else to the machine to get out of warranty on the machine. If you have...

wouldn't you know it, 10 minutes after I downloaded the codes from the link guess what I found in my manual? Was looking in the wrong section, thought they would be in the electrical section and never even noticed the troubleshooting pages lol. Thanks for the help anyways

it is the hard copy one, came with the machine, thanks for the codes, very much appreciated
