I have a Bobcat 873 with a problem with the steering control arms. The left hand arm causes the left wheels to move forward and back as soon as it is moved from the neutral position. The right had arm has a lot more travel that is required both forward and back before the right wheels will move. It makes it somewhat hard to make left hand turns while moving because the right had wheels won't go as fast as the left. I took the access plates off the side of the Bobcat and it appears the right arm moves stuff on the valve as soon as it is moved - it just doesn't make anything happen hydraulically until you move it quite aways. The service manual I have talks about adjusting free play for the right hand arm but it is for serial numbers less than mine (my serial number is 514115288) and is a whole different linkage system than what I have. My question - is this something easy to fix and how do I do it? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
