Anyone know if there are drain holes under the cab? I was pressure washing my machine with the cab up and notice like two pans holding a few inches of water and mud. They are like directly under the seat, not the ones for the foot controls. Thanks

the doors are few and far between. if you need something before you find a door, try this. go to a place that sells thick clear plastic on a roll (linen n things). get a few yards and trim it so it's somewhat bigger than your cab. then look on ebay for 24" magnetic tool holders, i think they are...

First i changed the left side drive motor with a used one. left side drive forward was still weak. then i swapped the hoses on the left side drive motor. weak left side drive in reverse. i think that rules out the drive motor. will check the relief for the pump.

Swapped the hoses on both side. Now it's weak in reverse left side only. Push sticks forward to drive in reverse takes awhile to get use to. Any thoughts?

Going to swap the hoses tonight.

the serial # is 5020-m-12060 i think it's around 1990. just a 843, no letters.

yes problem is only on one side. the manual points you to the replentishing valve swap procedure(if trouble moves to other side, replace valve), but doesn't go any further. your exactly right, it refuses to drive forward up a hill. will back up a hill real strong. i will check for that filter...

Swapped the replentishing valves and the trouble did not follow.

Straight linkages. No hydraulic servos

Older 843. Starts up and drives fine four the first 5 minutes. After that, left side drive forward gets real weak to no power at all. Right seems OK and reverse left and right are strong all the time. Has a new main pump. Talked to bobcat, he thought it was the left side drive. I bought a used...

Late 80's bobcat 843. Anyone have some ideas to narrow down why my machine loses lift power? Here are some details. Starts up fine and can lift a load of gravel ok but maybe after 5 minutes running half throttle the lift arms do not want to go up and as time goes on, the only way to raise them...
