Going to change my case drain filters this spring and have a few questions. Good time to change the hydraulic oil. Is there a drain plug under the reservoir on this model accessible thru the side plate of do I have to use a transfer pump? Can I only hope to remove the oil in the reservoir as...

Took out the relay and cleaned up the contacts then swapped it with the cleaned one beside it. I believe they are all the same. Wiring on the solenoid looks good. I had it apart and cleaned 2 years ago when I changed the seal on the chaincase cover. Gonna be using the machine a bunch this week...

good evening guys. my skidsteer out of the blue has the traction lock engage and stops the machine dead and it stalls. it starts right up after and i will go for many hours with no problems. it has happened maybe 3 or 4 times this year and usually when i am driving from on spot to another. i was...

I have a 2002 773g and put steel tracks on when I bought it about 8 years ago. They are similar to Tracks Plus steel tracks and work great. I used 3 or 4 inch spacers (parked for the winter now and under a cover so can’t check). I have a 60” bucket and the tracks are a bit wider now but your 72”...

Checked the fuel lines.nothing plugged and fuel flows freely through. Let it run idling for 15 minutes til it started running rough again. The primer bulb not sucked flat but definitely not real hard. As the revs drop and it’s about to stall I can pump the bulb and the revs increase. So...

My 2002 773g runs for 15-20 minutes then starts to run rough and stalls.it will restart but it’s rough and I can move it a bit at a time to get it back to my shop.it has never done this before and now has done it twice in a row.i brought it into the shop and checked the fuel line into the...

all is good again. was no power going to the solenoid. ended up being a loose fuse. I guess when I was checking them with the battery drain issue the one controlling the fuel solenoid's mount got loosen a bit. thanks for all the help guys. BW

Solved the battery drain problem. Had a buddy come over who works on heavy equipment. Found some bare and broken wires that were shorting out in a harness below one of the hand lever shocks at the front of the machine. Fixed those up and the drain stopped. Problem is after he left and I...

An added circuit is probably true seeing as this was a rental before.that would explain why it was tie wrapped to the wiring harness and maybe why it clicks on with power if there was a gps tracker before. Funny thing tho is when I completely remove it I'm still getting the test lite.had the...

guess the pics didn't load properly. have them on photobucket also but don't know how to get them here. pics are in the gallery here under 773G relay

i have a 2002 773g and something is draining my battery while the machine is idle and key off. I tested it with a light probe on the positive battery post and cable. the light comes on indicating a draw. the light goes out when I remove any of theses fuses: F10.....switched attach...
