My right side motor appears to be very noisy. I purchased a rebuild kit for it and no noticible improvement. Sounds like the pump is cavitating before and after the rebuild so it is possible it is something else. I notice when i remove the chain case plug, it vents off (bleeds air) after a...

Unfortunately, I have some experience with the oil on floor. With the cab raised, find the spool valve on the left hand side when facing the rear of machine. Reach in to the rear of the spool valve and you will likely find the spool seals are leaking. May had dried out from sitting so often...

so, 2 things to close out. I did replace the stem cartridge. I had a new one in hand and oil pigs in place and swapped it out quickly. Some oil came out but would estimate less than a pint. The cartridge replacement did not fix my problem. Did some more searching and noticed there was no...

Dadosix. Thanks for saying what i am thinking will happen. Even in the service manual it says to remove the cartridge and clean with air and make sure the screen is clean. I agree the videos make no mention of trying to minimize the mess likely to occur and have not found any stores giving...

My 763 will not run the mower or trencher. My 753 will. So it is obvious something is wrong with the 763. I have read several threads that suggest replacement of the stem cartridge. My 753 and 763 have the same part number in the catalog. If i were to swap them, will hydraulic oil flood out...

I too have a 763 that i bought last year. No tilt no lift so sold as was. I went over and through a bunch of stuff and determined it had to be the computer or the AHC module. I sent the computer off the Radwell to have it evaluated and repaired rather than pay Bobcat $1500. Bad bad...

I have a Bobcat 763 that i bought last summer. It appears the previous owner never knew it rains in Washington and never tried to protect it. I now find the 5 button on the left and 4 button on the right do not work at all. I took the cover off the switch and alll the switches are corroded...

This all started with the servo seals leaking oil. On this model, you have to take the servo control valve completely out (blessing). Found things that needed fixing and needed rust removal, and found the seals leaking on top of the pump motor as well. All led to major invasion on the...

I just got the engine running and I am having trouble with the steering controls. I blocked the machine off the ground and adjusted the neutral centering control. So now the wheels quite spinning so that is good. What is not good is when I push forward on the T stick, the right side drive spins...

I have recently been able to get my model 2040 to start. The only way I can keep it running is to bypass the hydraulic charge pressure switch at the control valve. I have replaced the pressure switch and no change. The switch is supposed to open when pressure is >80 psi, and I used my air...

Good news: Out of frustration and forced admission of defeat, I took the machine to its second diesel mechanic. Be assured I took it to another shop than my previous selection and it went much better this time. After telling him everything I had done, and how I did it, he decided to take the...

The injectors are all new. I have installed the fuel pipe while holding the injectors outside the engine and I see the 4 quadrant spray pattern I would hope to get. With that observation, I can only assume the fuel is shooting into the piston cylinder as it is supposed to. Someone suggested...

I have a model 2040 that is supposed to be like yours except mine has less horse power. Actually, mine has zero HP because I cannot get it to run. Never have had it running. i rescued it from a field when a guy bought some property it was on. I would like to ask you some questions about yours if...

Okay. I am stumped. I pulled the engine ove rthe christmas period and put new rings in it, as well as new head gasket and associated necessities. Of course, I honed the cylinders. I now have 430 plus on compression across all cylinders. I was excited to get the engine back in, only to find there...

I think Mustang does a standard year description. If you look at your serial number, the first 2 numbers should be the year model. That is what I use to order parts, and my distrbutor tells me that is correct. Exmaple... My serial number is SF99 (followed by more alpha numeric digits). My model...
