On my 1999 F-series 763 I find that it is much easier to tilt the cab if I remove the door first. Not sure about the G series but it makes huge difference on my F series. I've had hoses go and when they did they went catastrophically while under load; all my hose leaks were not subtle. Two...

I always struggled with the couplings on my Bobcat 763, even when relieving the pressure by rotating the key to the "left" of off. Often struggled snapping and unsnapping attachment ends from each other as well. I bought the tool that cdmccul suggested and haven't had a problem since. I smile...

A small pinhole in a wire can really ruin your day. You need to check the voltage at the module itself, preferably on the board if possible. When you turn the key, if the module draws current through a bad resistive wire, then the voltage across the module will drop. The module may require the...

The first thing that I would do for the sluggish starter is check the voltage across the starter and voltage across the battery while cranking. You shouldn't see more that a 1V drop at the starter if the battery to starter cables and connections are both good. As "thwerench" already suggested...

Had what may be the same problem with my 763-F. System would suddenly lockout which, if moving in forward or reverse, would force a an abrupt stop and lockout all of the hydraulics. In my case root cause was a bad ground connection in the BICS loop. The location of that connection on my...

Well I chased down the wiring from handle controls to solenoids and all voltages were as expected. Measured the resistance of all of the solenoids in the valve and all were within tolerance. Disassembled the select pair of solenoids and found considerable corrosion between the coils and the...

Thanks bobbie-g. Good suggestion, I hadn't thought about the left handle, auxillary hydraulics working like that. I tried just about every sequence of switches this morning and no luck. My right handle operates the High Flow exactly as you described, toggle sets left/right and the trigger locks...

Yes all five of the solenoids are there and connected, I was going to measure the voltages back there whent the switch was flipped but the connectors are in a nasty spot and there isn't any slack in the harness. When the switch is toggled I cant feel either of the secondary solenoids responding...

Need some help on this one guys…. I attached my snow plow blade to my 763H when the east coast snow storm rolled in last Saturday and discovered that the hydraulics for the angle cylinders weren’t operating properly. I use the secondary auxiliary ports to drive these cylinders and no matter...
