Djphelan 01… I run an 863 with a 9' blade here in Alberta & can say that any skidsteer pushing snow up here is useless w/o chains. I always run a set on the rear only. I also run an oilfield trucking co., so I have access to plenty or half worn out truck chains. I use these to make tire chains...

JBowling… did you ever get this remedied? I am having the same problem, collapsing primer bulb in a pail of fuel. I'm thinking it has to be the bulb because I rigged a jerry can for fuel on top of the cab with the primer bulb & starved the engine… removed bulb & all is running fine. Now if I can...

Thanks all P/N is 667738…. now just to find an aftermarket supplier.

Thx Tom…. ph'd them but of no help!

Does anyone have p/n's for the lockout coils on the hydraulic spool? Any reasonably priced from which supplier? I've "googled" until my googlers are sore! :))

I would be looking for the glow plugs?

Does anyone have a cross reference chart or part numbers for glow plugs for this machine that a poor farmer is able to afford? Bobcat dealers seem to think that we are all farming gold! Thanks in advance.

I would just use what is recommended on the machine.

I only meant for my previous post as a way to get the machine running…not as a fix to the electrical problems.

Pull out the fuel rack solenoid from under the alternator. Jump power from starter to starter solenoid & machine should start. To shut down you will have to use the manual fuel shut off or push in the rack from where you removed the solenoid. I don't envy anyone with wiring problems on these units!

Sounds like the wiring is being "strained" when the bucket goes that far up! I'll have a look at mine to see if any wiring is attached to the lift arms… but I don't think so.

Thx Guys…. I HATE mystery fixes! My "monkey" is busy planting her garden right now , buy I will bother her for a few minutes tomorrow. I've already checked for power at the plug when Key is "on" & when running & nothing. There needs to be power there when the machine is running, but I'll grab my...

Well my machine is running good now, but not really positive "what the fix" was…. leaning toward the PCV. I couldn't see anything wrong with the PCV, blew air into the outlet & the diaphragm pushed against the spring. Washed it with varsol & blew it dry. Took valve cover off & checked (adjusted...

Well, pulled the muffler & the PCV. Not much to it, just a light spring & diaphragm. Washed well & checked diaphragm by blowing compressed air into the outlet tube & no leaks. While I was right there, I checked & adjusted valve lash. Tomorrow pull the exhaust pipe off of the turbo & check that...

The problem started last fall, somewhat suddenly, when the weather turned colder. 2000 yr. vintage, 863 G about 5,000 hrs.. Prior to this it has always been an excellent cold starter down to about minus 30 C, unassisted. Starts & runs OK but continuous bluish smoke with very strong fuel smell...
