Thank you!! I will read up on how to test charge pressure.

Follow up on the replacement of the tilt cylinder seal kit. I was able to change out the seals and everything went well. It is a very messy job even with trays and pans around. I found my seal kit locally too. I’d say the tip on Lucas assembly lube was the ticket. It is some slick stuff and...

I spent a few hours on the 753 today and it is much easier to drive with the jerking issue on the left reverse. I do find it doing well in forward now but it is jumpy. Really hard to smoothly pick up a load out of the pile or just drive forward. It will sling you all over if you let it. I tried...

The last couple of nights, I took y'all advice and drained the hydraulic fluid and swapped both drive motors. Installed fresh hydraulic fluid, 2 new case filters, and a new hydraulic filter. It now works great going forward on both sides. The crazy jerking is now on the left hand side but only...

Good info! Thank you!!

Is there a certain spot to drain all of the hydraulic fluid? I picked it up on my lift and saw a plug down in the back middle but wasn't able to budge it. Is it possible to drain all of it through the aux port with a short hose? Or will that make a mess? Last time I changed the right drive...

I will take your advice on the fluids and filters as well. Thank you!!

Just finished up my house build where I did most of the inside finish work. Sorry for the delay in follow up. I am now trying to break the hard packed rock with the 753 so I can use my subcompact to level the yard. I checked steering and it looks like all of the pintal arms and bushings were...

I bet you are right. I did see white marks on the flat bar marking the current adjustment. I will check it all when I get a chance and reply back. Thank you!!

Hello all, I have a new to me 1995 Bobcat 753. It is pretty rough with 6000+ hours but still runs great. Didn't pay too much because it has problems. Mainly the right drive motor was sketchy. Limped it home and changed the o-rings and it is back to new. Fuel tank pick up tube was plugged...

I just bought a Bobcat 753 a week ago. I didn't pay much for it because of the right drive motor issue. I bought the o-ring kit from Loader parts source and everything went well. Right drive motor works now. My issue is when I push the right stick forward, it activates both drive motors evenly...
