On the 773C, they had the B.O.S.S. option, which sounds like what you are running. There was an analog gauge basic option as well. I bought a burned out (small engine fire at the battery) one and the wiring was cooked so I swapped out the whole works to analog gauges and switches for everything...

One of the reasons I like the OLD trucks. No computers, thicker sheet metal and simple wiring!

So, I did manage to get it all set up and running. The key still has all the functions that it orginally did, even the hydraulic drain down position. The glow plugs have their own momentary rocker switch as does the parking brake (keeping in mind that there is a lift signal line and a hold. The...

My current Bobcat 743 has been fantastic and trouble free since I bought it used 5 years ago. I'm hoping my new (to me) 773 is going to be the same way!

I used a 3/4" drive IR impact gun to remove mine. Either 600 or 800 ft/lbs depending on the bolt length.

3/4" drive IR impact, no problem. They are either torqued to 600 or 800 ft/lbs depending on if the bolt is 2" or 2 1/2" long respectively. I assume that you're going to pull the hubs for a seal replacement or bearings? I built one of these and it made life a ton easier... did all 4 of mine last...

So, just before Christmas I picked up a 97 773 C-series Bobcat that had an unfortunate accident with either the battery or one of the relays catching fire and roasting out the left side (when looking at it from behind) of the motor and associated components in the area. The motor (v2203) had...

I'm in the process of rebuilding a 909 for my 743 and I was wondering if anyone has tried to build a thumb attachment for the 909? Ted.

Has anyone had experience with this guy in LA? https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/hvo/d/torrance-bobcat-backhoe-attachments/6916174201.html

From what the PO has told me, it's right at the open end of the barrel where the two tabs are. I couldn't see it, so it's either a hairline fracture or ? I know that they are cast steel, not iron and weldable, but if I have to work with the polished insides for a cylinder bore, welding is likely...

Good morning! I have a 743 that I picked up from a local farmer for a great price (in this neck of the woods) and now looking to pick up a 909 attachment. The guy is willing to take $1000 Cdn for it (so like $55 US) and it looks in great shape except for the seat and one itsy problem... one of...
