Thanks for your in put guys. I was thinking along the same lines. Happy

I just got my 843 with smooth solid tires. I plan on using it for pushing cars and trucks in my garage, pushing snow and unloading pallets. I see its should have 12-16.5 on it. Is any one running 10-16.5 tires. I found a set of wheels and tires for $500 but will it work. Happy

Not sure but the stainless steel utility pump from HF works better then I expedited for pumping used motor oil. Just make sure you use garden hose. I tried washer machine hose the first time but it is too small for the volume it needs. Happy

So I got my parts for the pick up motor the other day and they they appear that the will work. The hose will need too be cut because the original hose was there and the old neck went up then a 90 degree bend in the hose. The new neck turns 90 degrees when it is bolted on, So I will just trim the...

There was nothing there to compare or repair. From what I have read that is the same engine that is in a pickup truck. So off to Rock auto to see what is available (they have great pictures) Pretty sure I found what I need so I ordered it up. When I get it I will posy the results. Bobby

So I just got myself a 843 with an Isuzu engine. The machine has been used pretty hard and needs a lot of TLC. I got it running no problem sounds good no bad noises moves and hydraulics seem to work, So my question is were do i find a water out let neck that I do not have to pay an arm and leg...

NICE!!! That looks great.

So I ended up jerking my M 700 and the right side Wheels stopped moving. So we pulled the machine up to the garage and got the side cover off and as i thought the drive chain broke. I think I will replace both sides considering I do not know what this machine has done before me and it is as old...

Thanks for your input. I am still kicking it around on what direction to go. Happy

Ok, I have tried to read as many threads as I can but know I think I confused myself. I bought a Bobcat M700 got a good deal on it because it did not move and you could clearly see that the drive shaft was just spinning on the pump. Easy fix Flush the hydraulics of the old nasty fluid good...

So I removed both side covers and sucked out as much fluid from the two tanks as I could (besides I just got this machine and wanted to check the running gear). Then filled the machine with new fluid. Then I removed the oil cooler and pumped out and sucked in more fluid. (I am doing all this...

Just want to say HI! I stumble across this site while I was looking for my Skid steer. SO MUCH INFO!!! Thanks everyone. So I finally Bought a Bobcat M700. Very surprised as how much power it has for such an older machine. Well enough for know. Happy out
