The line ontop of my control valve rusted and started to leak. Part is on order, but my manual is missing the page that has the capacity for the hydraulic fluid reservoir when empty. anyone? Thanks, Andy

Anyone have any thoughts on belltec augers. I have a 763 cat, and am looking for a posthole auger for my farm. they are resonably priced. good/bad? Thanks, Andy

Can anyone tell me how to tell if a door will fit my 763c when its off of the machine? I have found a few doors at yards, but no way of telling if they will fit mine. Thanks, Andy

In theory, can't you use both your aux lines, one to drain the fluid, the other to suck from a fresh container of oil?

The starter will drain a battery with or without ign on or off. Have had a few customers over the years with starters that are bad and do this. If your unsure about testing, almost any parts store will be able to do it for you! Andy

Check the starter for the drain, thats about the only thing i can think could have that much of a drain.

almost sounds like you have air trapped in the system?

Im still getting use to my bobcat, my first skidsteer (3 weeks and counting), had a few questions, and thanks to you guys, learned alot here on this forum! I have a 763 C model, i was wondering if anyone could fill me in on what the letter means, i have seen f, g and c's. Is this just part of a...

Thanks!

my manual states 90w gear oil for fan gear box, cant find it anywhere. Is there a sub that can be used like 80-90 gear oil? I did find 90 w, but that was for outboard boat motors, would that be ok? Thanks again, Andy

Thanks guys, i wasnt sure if the grey type powder was part of the system or needed to be removed. How does this spark arrestor work?. On the plug, it was chewed up already, and i finally got it out, but will get another one to put in. The one that came out was brass, can I use steel plug instead...

The manual states remove plug, run engine for 10 seconds. When I do this, i get a powder substance comming out. Ran it again for 10 seconds and more came out. What am i looking to do, remove all the powder ? Manual doesn't say. Sorry for the newb question, my first skidsteer 8) Thanks Andy

Thanks. I think the antifreeze that was in it was yellow, and i had put red/orange in. I guess its no big deal to change it anyway. Thanks! Andy

Hi All. I just bought my first bobcat. Its a 97 763 with 960hrs. I may have done a booboo. I topped up the rad with ethylene glycol back last tuesday when it was cold up here (the day I got it), but just read not to use that, that propylene glycol is to be used. I think it was 1/2 l or less, do...

Is there any way to tell visually if a machine is aux hiflow or not? (if no sticker is present by the aux lines that is.) Thanks Andy
