773G FUEL GUAGE

[bullwinkle]

i have a 2002-773g bcat and the fuel guage stopped working. its probably the sender. my ? is can i get at that thing without removing the engine or could the problem possibly be a fuse? thanks.....BW

I would lean toward the sender, yeah they are pains, but you can get them out.

It can be done , it is a really snug fit as you slide it out the tank as it hits the Sunstrand coming out on your machine , be careful to not put a permenant bend in it . before you pull it check the plug and wires at the plug good as I see a lot of times the pump will rub up against the plug and damage it or the wires ------------ did you know Bobcat sells a special socket that will fit the sender . it also fits the new style quick couplers that screw into the manifold block on the boom of the machine

where would i even start. i have a good idea where it is from the shop manual. do i go in from the left side where the battery is? or the right side or somehow else? it probably is the sender cuz the first time the gauge failed it actually clicked back in after a bit when i was using the cat then hasn't worked since. any guidance appreciated. thanks.....BW

back in the day they were an odd size, ive put hose clamps around them ive beat em out drilled etc. always thought back to a plumbers wrench i saw once a clamping crows foot, kinda like those self adjust pliers or the mack pipe wrech pliers, good luck.
