Ok so i just found U Tube video of the 709 on a 763, SO I GUESS THAT ANSWERS PART OF MY QUESTION, BUT STILL INTERESTED IN WJHETHER A ho MATTERS, AND GOOD PRICES? excuse the caps, fat fingers, look at my hands when i type, 3 finger typer, you do the math!

Hey guys, I just came across a used 709 backhoe attachment that sure looks like it would be fun. but before i go any further toward lunacy, will my 763 carry and pump enough to run that 709 attachment (I do not believe my 763 is HO, if that matters) and what would be a resasonable price for...

OK guys my father In Law fancies himself as a big time long time operator. In fact, 35 years of shuffling papers and telling other guys what to do. Now he comes up here when I'm gone - to do work on my property, using my 763! Anyway, according to him, just as he was reaching to turn it off...

Ah crud, duplicate, and I cannot figure out how to delete it. Sorry for pooping in your forum guys!

Ok guys, so several years back I saw a guy with a skid steer that had picked up a set of forks from a forklift place and mounted em up to his machine - he could easily put em on and take em off. anyone seen/done this? on the cheap? I can pick up used forks locally - no problem, but I...

Thanks guys, that was it. I don't have the bolt adjusted tensioner. on my setup You take a pry bar, put it in the notch of the fan belt housing and pry on the top of the mounting plate. as you “reload” the spring it makes a clicking sound, then you make sure the pointer is not past the 3 o...

The idler has a coiled spring inside it. It has a pointer, if you look closely at the photo you can see it alighned with the back side of the coil spring mounting post. I do not however have any bolt that moves the unit up or down. The only bolt is the bolt that mounts the plate to the...

Ok this is the rear of the idler arm, I cleaned it up a bit to make it easier to see. you can see the post is all the way at the end of the slot. The rear of the bobcat would be toward the bottom of the photo So anyone help me out here? am i completely clueless, or is the thing in fact Tango...

Ok I can't figure out how to edit, and after i post a photo, then backtrack to get another one - the post I am composing goes away, so i will post 2X here, a photo in each This is the front of the idler arm, you can see that the pointer is all the way at the rear of the post that holds the spring

thanks OM Machinist, but i'm not following that. If i raise the drive idler that releases tension, I am guessing my drive tensioner may be tango uniform? I took 2 photos and resized them, but I cannot figure out how to post them here. But the peg that fits into the smile slot on the lower back...

photod of parts needed to fix

OK everybody, I am lucky enough to have a 763 that i use up here on my property. So it may get used 2 or 3 hours a day for a week, then sit for 3 months. I have developed a loud squeal when it is underload - going up hill for instance, or holding down the bucket petal when it is already maxed...

Ok Guys, i am running a 763 with about 2000 hours on it. I did an engine switch on it about 6 months ago. Today - when I went to about 2/3 throttle - it started to squeal - sounded just like a car fan belt squeal. It stops - but show up again anytime I turn right - and occasionally when I turn...
