Bobcat 763 Bucket droop issue

[formflier]

I'm really glad I found this forum. Might as well post all my questions. My last "big" issue that I know about on my machine is that if you pick up a heavy load and are moving it around you constantly have to rotate your bucket back up to keep it from drooping down. Is that a control inside the machine going bad or is it something in the cylinder?? Thanks Allen

yes. lol could be either. take one hose off cyl and stroke to end if its bad oil will "pass" through cyl. make sure you put a hose on the cyl and put in a pail

Are you leaking hydraulic fluid anywhere. I had the same problem and it was caused by a pin hole leak in one of the steel hydraulic lines under my seat. The line had rusted due to contact with the insulating foam under the cab. Replaced the line and no more droop.
