[QUOTE="AJ, post: 39758, member: 4861"] Hi- I'm new to the forum so bear with me. The local Bobcat dealer has all but shut down in this economy, so I need some advise/info. Thanks in advance and happy new year. My 773 ( 2001 model ) has 915 hours on it. Recently has developed a squeal (that sounds like a loose belt on a car) every time I open the grapple bucket and sometime when I use the right heel foot control for the bucket. Seems to get somewhat better when it warms up. Hydraulic fluid has not been changed - due at 1000 hours according to the manual. Hydraulic fluid looks good with no bubbles. I topped up the hydraulics with AW-46 type fluid within the last 80 hours. Also changed out a leaking quick disconnect on one of the lines to the grapple bucket. Loader seems to turn OK, maybe a bit slugish, but bucket goes up and down fine. Any help greatly appreciated. Don't want to damage anything further. Hope it's not a pump! Thanks AJ [/QUOTE]
