My neighbor has a old 4 cyl Wisc. air cooled motor skidsteer I can use, if I found out how to adj the clutch/bands. He had someone to adjust then and now It won't turn, So it's now up to me if I can get it back to where it will turn or skid again. A operators manual would be great, if there is...

Aluminum cap on right side of main valve [back end of tilt cylinder spool valve] has a central hole in it which leaks alot. Hole is there for a reason but Im sure it's not suppose to be pouring fluid out. Does anyone have a idea whats going on?

I got the up/dn hoses on left lift cylinder crossed, after blowing the cylinder seals I had them rebuilt. I tried the hydraulic lines before reinstalling the cylinders, both down cylinder lines are pumping oil all the time with pedal is in neutral ? I can move the pedal to lift and the lines...

I bought a Bobcat 763 (was told it was a 1999 F model). Can anyone tell me what I have, it dosen't have digital panel like some online manuals show, the key switch is in top left corner with 2 rocker switches and green square - override button below the switch. Right side has manual analog type...

Last year I replaced the left side lift cylinder hoses on my 1999 - 763, due to health I am just now getting ready to finish the hookup, my notes are gone and need to know which hose (up & dn) hooks to the two steel lines in the back left side of the engine area. Which hooks to the outer one? I...

I replaced the hoses on the left side lift cylinder, I don't know which up/down line goes where. Looking at the motor to the left side Which one goes to the steel line next to the outside wall/frame of the bobcat ? Also after lifting the cab I noticed a red square button located on a plate that...

After setting all winter my 763 wouldn't start, however I got it running by trial and error, now I have a few questions about the fuel system and all the knobs. 1. There is a rubber fuel line coming off the injectors going to a on/off valve on the pump, it was off, when should this valve ever be...

First of all I am new to quick attach implements, I have a Bobcat and can't get the bucket off, one side was easy but I have added penetrating oil and beat the other side with a sledge hammer. There must be a trick or gimic to getting a stuck quick attach bucket off?

Has anyone made a set of slip on forks for a standard 72" Bobcat bucket. I need to build a light weight set for moving junk like riding mowers or other items in the 500-800lbs range that won't fit in the bucket. I have several sets of old forklift forks but by the time I move them back to the...

I found a set of steel tracks for $1k, they are suppose to be new. My tires are 1/2 to 1/3 and I only use the 763 around the house/field. Right now I am trying to find the pros and cons of using tracks, need to know so I can make up my mind before they get gone.

Thanks Tazza, Ive never done this before so as simple as it sounds I didnt think of supporting the arms first, Ive done this many on my tractors loader, my 763 dosnt have a support so I will cut a piece of angle iorn to put on one side.

Im new to skid steers, bought a 763 last fall & noticed while it sets it leaks all the hydraulic fluid from around the main valve. I tried lifting the cab but still cant get to the valve easily, How can I get to the valve? For one thing my lift arms are in the way & when I shut the motor off to...

I have a old Arps backhoe setting around that could be put to use on the Bobcat. Im looking a one of the quick attach plates that Northern tool sells, seems I could mount the bucket and its boom on the plate for occasional use. I dont know how much force the Norther tool plate will take so Im...

I have a 1999 - 763 Bobcat, Im planning on hooking up a Arps backhoe to it. The old Arps is small but very well made (heavy) 1500lbs. I read this is the max working weight for a 763, so if this is so I may just make a plate and mount only the bucket & boom ?

Thanks for all the tips, I guess I need to get a mirrow and good light. Maybe that way I can see whats leaking on the bottom side of the valve. The valve seems to leak if its running or not and more so when its setting. I dont use the 763 but maybe once a month or less so I was thinking of...
