I tried my hyd. breaker on a 4 ft diameter boulder with no luck. I kept it on there for about a minute, and saw no cracks at all. I just gave up. You might have better luck as this thing was still buried in a hill side, but you would think it would have done something other then break off a 3...

Nevermind, the whole top assembly has to be changed. Bobcat wants over $200! Yikes! I might have to just make do with swapping the connectors around for now. Luckily this is for personal use for now, but if I decide to do some side work in the future I'll have to fork over the cash. Thanks...

Seriouly, just the switch can be changed and not the rest of the switches as one assembly? Cause that would be sweet!

I'm trying to operate a breaker attachment. It will only work in one flow direction. When I pull the right trigger the machine bogs down, hose's get stiff, but the breaker does nothing. When I swap the electrical connectors around on the coils the breaker works great! I'm gonna try and jump the...

Neither one is moving when I move the the thumb switch. The rear coil is the only one that works when I pulled the right trigger switch. The front coil is brand new, and I've checked it by swapping the the coils around. The connector for the rear coil shows 10 volts when I pull the right...

So, I'll gotten my controller programmed, but my aux. hydraulics still aren't working correctly. The right trigger will turn them on and off, but the right thumb switch does NOTHING whether it's in varible or max flow mode. I pulled the connector off the the right steering lever and checked the...

Ken, thanks for the pictures! Thats pretty much what I pictured in my mind. I see what you mean by making the the arms stronger. I'll probably put some gussets in which I'd imagine should help. Zak

Ken, do you have any pics of that 909 setup? I have an older john deere backhoe with the trailer ball mounts, but my 763G has the hook style brackets and I've been trying to figure out how to "adapt" the backhoe to those brackets. Your method sounds perfect. I just have a hard time seeing it...

Where under the frame is the other number located?

Thanks Ken I will try that. One thing I'm wondering would the trigger switch activate the aux. hyd. even though the light on the display indicates variable flow position? Because it doesn't matter if it's in var. or max flow, it acts like the machine thinks its in max flow. Because pulling the...

Hmm... I pulled the cover off the handle and saw the metal housing's on all the switchs are rusted, but the switchs seem to move like they're suppose to. I guess I'm gonna have to stare at the wiring schematic to figure out which wire goes to which switch.

Call you local Bobcat dealership and give them your serial number off the machine. They should be able to tell you the year it was built. Maybe the month too.

Just thought I'd post an update (and another question). I contacted my local dealer and had them run the serial number and it's NOT reported stolen. I also found out the reason the s/n plates were swapped had to do with the machine being sold to a business before previous owner had it and they...

Nope, dealer only. I just went through the same thing with my 763G. The controller is also suppose to be programmed by the dealer to work in your model Bobcat. Although the tech at the dealer said you can run it without it being a problem but if you machine has extra features it may not run...

The board inside the box is encapsulated in a rubber epoxy, but he scraped some of the epoxy off when he took it apart so it could be fried now. Supposedly this thing sat in a mud hole for 2 weeks!!! I can't believe it didn't cause problems to the motor and/or chain case. The box that contains...
