Should you cover the exhaust on a bobcat 863 when hauling it facing backwards on the trailer?

Which linkages are best to adjust? The long rods going back to the control stack? My 98 863 always creeps backwards as well.......

The door was only slightly bent but the door latch needed to be adjusted. Somehow it got bent and pushed. Closing fine now. Thanks for the help

Thanks I will give that a try

Just require different mounts or designed differently for the S series? The one at auction as the 8811 and very close to home.

Will the 8811 backhoe fit on an 863 and will the 863 handle it ok? There is one coming up for auction and any info would be appreciated.

I have a 98 863, it ended up tipping backwards onto the engine door. Didnt go right over. But now the door sags way down and needs to be lifted and pushed hard to close. I cant really tell if the door is bent or the hinges. Any easy ways to check?

With the cab up it generally creeps backwards but if I move the levers ahead then it creeps forward. I haven't put it on jackstands yet but I was wondering if my centering spring tension could be way to tight. It is compressed much further then 2.7 inches.

I had a look at a page out of a service manual that was posted for a 743. I will jack it up and give it a try. Thank you....

I recently bought a 98 863. It creeps backwards. I was wondering if setting the steering linkage is the same on all models or if there is specific procedures for each one??
