Thank you for the information. My service manual is very complete... except for the engine I now recognize. I did google the part number and recognized the pump - a HUGE help. I ordered a pump through Amazon for $35. The Bobcat dealership had it priced at $130. I replaced the pump and hoses...

My 763F was running fine. I pulled to idle and stepped off for a minute and when I returned it had quit. I fooled around trying to restart without success. Eventually, I found that if I squeezed the priming bulb it would "squish" for five or six times and then get firm. After that the tractor...

BCG, the manual shows this small plastic plug under an allen screw in the end of the spool. To remove it says to drill, then thread in a #6-32 tap and use the tap to extract the plug. It looks like the plug has a very small o-ring and I speculate it plugs some holes drilled in manufacturing to...

This does help. Thank you for chiming in. The manual discusses replacing the plastic plug inside the end of the lift spool shaft. Is this something that is critical, or dont mess with it unless broken? Even though just one spool is leaking, I expect the recommendation is to do both. Are there...

My tractor is used intermittently so I wanted to add a solar trickle charger to help keep the battery level up. I picked up one of the $20 units from horrible freight. What I wanted to avoid was having to open the engine bay and attach alligator clips to the battery. And then have to reverse...

I have been absent this forum for way too long. I was reviewing my posts and noted I never gave the final resolution to this matter. After finding the issue all makes sense... but the path getting there was anything but direct. The short answer is that one of the mounting bosses on the...

My tractor is a 763F SN 512232614, approximately 2100 hours. I use my tractor occasionally. The other day a small leak I have been searching for turned into a gusher! Hydraulic fluid is streaming out of the control valve Lift Spool Detent. It is coming out right where the Clip and washer are on...

Thanks everyone for your inputs. They were about what I expected, but had to ask. The area is residential and off the beaten path. I would have been much more confident in the idea of “security through obscurity.” But about six months ago had a pile of scrap metal pilfered from the site...

I am in need of a trailer and plan to get one in the next few weeks. I would like peoples' suggestions on how they secure their trailers when not using. This trailer will be stored at a location that is not fenced. It has neighbors all around, but not their responsibility to monitor. I had a...

I had the lockup again this morning. I observed that the BICS controller is definitely flashing the traction light three times (hold coil shorted to ground). I tried to get it to lockup by bouncing up and down on the seat and giggling the connector at the BICS. Nothing. Talked with the service...

Fixed! The problem was exactly as espoused here. The pickup line was broken off right at the bottom of the tank bulkhead elbow. The tubing that was left on it was a bit brittle. Reminded me of the plastic tubing used for lawn irrigation systems - drip lines. Of course the work had to be in a...

Tazza, Thanks for the input. Two votes to zero says it stays in!

Ken, Wow! The editor tip was the best I have had in a long while. I stopped by the dealership this morning and picked up some new parts (fuel filter, grommet, pickup tube, brass screen, clips, etc.) I was able to get in and get the hose off and back on the pickup so I can probably get in there...

What is involved in changing out the fuel pickup? Is the grommet in the tank top just a press fit? Is there room to change it out from under the cab? Any special tools or words of wisdom? Thanks, Daen

My 763F has the Kubota 2203 engine with 2050 hours and always starts easily and runs smoothly. I use it intermittently on my place. I'll try to make this version more brief. The forum timed out last time and deleted my whole rant! Yesterday I ran my tractor out of fuel. I was working downhill...
