Lets try again on my other computer using Win 7 and IE 10. Sorry about that..... this should work with the pictures.

First, I hope your health issues are in the past. I have 1999 763F. Tried to attach pictures as I have done many before. For some reason not working well now. (I'm still using XP with Firefox) Anyway, The left lift cylinder hose on the outside connects to the steel line closest to the outside in...

On my 763, under the machine between the chain case and fuel tank there is a small metal plate cover with 3 bolts holding it in place. Take that plate off and it should drain well from there.

Glad to hear you got it fixed too. Since you had so much trouble finding pictures to help solve your problem, maybe you can provide some so that in the future it will help someone else.

Here is a nice You Tube Video showing the pin replacement. Helps make sense of how it works. A nice visual I haven't seen before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAr1kdcm6uc

Did you replace the fuel lines and lift pump (fuel pump) and primer bulb? I did a write up on this problem recently hoping it would help others. http://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=54&frmView=ShowPost&PostID=83954

Oops, sorry about that. I meant 709 not 809. Thank you TriHonu.... just old age creeping in!!

I think the 809 backhoe was the correct fit for the 763. I was going to buy a good used one but could never find those ball hitches you need to mount on the side of the 763. Sellers that had them wanted a fortune for them and shipping was crazy. Then I wasn't sure if they were the right ones...

My 763F had the classic... “would start right up for a few seconds to a minute, then die issue”. SO, I went about replacing the entire fuel ine from the pick-up tube to the Lift Pump. The parts used are all Bobcat stuff and the part numbers are illustrated. My 763F pick -up tube has no check...

I just bought one for a 763F last week at the New Orleans Bobcat dealership. Price was $115 Can't remember what the part number was though....

The timer is important. To pull the fuel solenoid requires 12 volts. BUT, once the engine starts, the timer changes the voltage to about 5 volts to hold the fuel solenoid open. (If it keep the 12 volts there because of a bad timer, it will eventually burn out the solenoid. Then when you turn off...

Yes, congratulations for sure! Your skill in explaining solutions is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU.

Maybe around a 1999. 763?

I just replaced mine for the same reason (763F). OM is right. Raise the cab for better access. I also removed the plastic water reservoir in the back (right side) to make it easier to reach in there. seems you always have to move stuff out of the way to get where you need to go!!

To answer your question, Yes, there is a drain for your fuel tank as well as for the chain case. It is located under the 763. Remove the 3 bolts from the small metal plate. The two plugs can be seen from there provided it is not filled up with crap and mud, etc. BUT, you better have a...
