Thanks Tazza those photo's and your explanation is a huge help, as soon as can I'm going to check the end play again, and if it's ok I will change the seal, again thank you so much for all your help for so many of my problems Mini

I am seeing a little bit of oil on one of the rear tire rims, it's not much but there is for sure a leak, could it be a seal on the axel? or could it be leaking from somewhere else? What would be my best way to fix this,? or find out where it's leaking I checked as best as I could for any side...

thanks all, for all the great advise, but I wimped out and shipped it to bobcat, the machine was creeping too which I wanted to get adjusted so I thought it would be a good time to send it in for that issue too,,, and you guys nailed the issue perfect, when bobcat called today , sure enough it...

I was just about to phone the dealer to come and pick this thing up, Now I'm looking for my 3/4" socket to go lift the cab, to find the tank my biggest fear working on this machine is getting crushed under the cab, do you guys ever use a stick or anything else just for safety? or is the lock...

easy ? not sure anything has been easy on this machine, even if I send it in for service the bill will be painful ,

Thanks,, got it started, with the fuel line stuck in a coke bottle, it's now in my shop, I will have to decide if I should try to fix it myself or send it to bobcat. it's a love / hate relationship I have with this thing, right now I'm leaning towards the hate side

Ok I will try using a jug of fuel to see if it stays running, it died in a bad spot, so a temporary fix to at least get it closer to the shop would save me a ton thanks I will try that this morning

the machine runs for a few seconds then stops, When I prime the fuel bulb, there is a steady stream of air, even with the purge valve open, the fuel filter is a cheap clear canister so I can see lots of air in it From what I have read some people have had a broken fuel pickup Is there anything...

Update: A day later and I Finally got the tensioner off, wow I can't believe how seized it was, for a plastic bushing, (was considering replacing the plastic bush with a bronze bushing) but I decided to just ream thru the plastic bushing with a 1/2" reamer to clean it out, and polished the pin...

Thanks tazza / bobbie , When I looked at this more closely today, I now can see the main swivel bolt is totally seized in the aluminum arm, and the movement I am getting must be just the screw unthreading and threading back on, I sprayed some lube on it, but it's seized very tight, not sure how...

From what you describe, it kind of sounds like the camshaft timing chain has stretched and skipped a tooth or two, just enough to put the camshaft out of timing, and not start, but not enough to do damage,

Got the new valve installed and it solved the leaked, The hull finally drained out on it's own one drop at a time and stopped, ( took about a month ) Thanks for all the help,

I found my overheating issue today, it appears to be a stiff belt tensioner, on the fan belt, the belt is almost fall off loose, I pulled out the battery and the plastic cover from the side of the engine, to take a look, I pulled back the tensioner temporarily, to tighten the belt, and it now...

Thanks guy's I just might try it myself,

The creep on my 763 was fixed a few years ago, no issues, until I lent my machine to a friend for the summer, now the creep is back again, he must of really pushed the machine hard all summer, even the tires look more worn on the rear, but he is a good friend and I will have now have to deal...
