Well I wanted to find and fix it but I guess I’ll have to put everything back and fill with fluid so I can pull it out and power wash it.... just can’t find it

Today I removed the belt shield for the drive belt and found everything wet looking so started getting all the funk out and it appears that there is fresh oil that keeps seeping out of the belly of this housing.... not happy.... would this be pointing me toward a bad seal on the hydro pump where...

Hey guys I’ve been replacing hoses, cleaning, replaced control spools, on a 863c..... The from the pedals to the first set of weep holes in the bottom of the loader it’s dry. Where the second set of weep holes are under the plate for the fuel and chain case plugs is where I will find drips of...

Used to have an older 80’s-ish bobcat 543 that was easy to work on and had plenty of power for a smaller diesel machine.... The bucks isn’t that bad to troubleshoot just sensors reporting back to a controller as for the lift/tilt locking that could be something as simple as your seat or lap bar

Well I checked it out and not sure what it’s for.... The hose connected to the elbow on the fuel tank is plugged with nothing for it to be attached to (the hose in picture) The fuel appears to be fed from the left(viewed from back) side of the tank and the return line that comes off of the rail...

Thanks I pulled the print for it and I will check it out tomorrow and let you know

Sorry I should have posted a reply a little while ago..... Yes It is a line that was plugged with a stub of copper rod.... I removed the wrap on the outside and pulled it out, a bit of diesel came out so I guess it must be connected to the fuel tank??? It runs behind the engine and I can’t see...

It's been wiped down and dry, the breather tube is coming off the motor and routed down to the bottom. This machine does NOT have the PCV module... Could the check valve that's on the engine before the tube going to the bottom of the compartment be faulty and not opening causing pressure/smoke...

Gents, I recently purchased an older Bobcat 863C and I'm in the process of going thru everything to get it running nice without issues. When I run it everything is working fine however the top portion of the engine from the glow plugs up has a light smoke coming from that area? I did just...

Hey guys wondering if you could check out the pic and let me know what this is? It is connected to the engine somewhere up front and runs to the back and is resting on the floor. Looks like a solid conductor for something? not sure.. thanks If the pic doesn't show up its in photos under 863c...

Various pics

Hey guys, I recently picked up a nice 863C but have a hydraulic hose that needs to be replaced under the seat. (The second hose up from the bottom on the lift arm by-pass control valve) Is there a diagram of the machine showing all of the hose sizes and fitting sizes? or how do you know what to...
