one thing i found helps with my 853 is run less air in the tires that way the tires can flex when driving over the track instead of going up and down. if you have to much air in your tires the ride will be pretty bad. also with less air they seem to spin less inside the tracks when they get...

thanks again for all the advice i couldn't have dont it with out you. im kinda ticket because the sleeve that i ordered is the exact same as the one that was in there. i gave them the part number from the service builitain and they said that part no longer existed but there was an updated one...

just one more question. lets say that there is a scratch in there with a bit of raised material that is keeping the sleeve from sliding in, what would you recomend to fix it so that i can get the sleeve in? i tried putting the old sleeve in the freezer and getting it to go in with out any...

hey thanks for the offer but i just ordered the new updated one today from bobcat. usually it gets here in 2 days. so i think i will be able to get it back together this weekend. i tried to slide the old one in up to the first o-ring grove and i had a heck of a time getting it to go in...

yeah i know. im a machinist by trade and thought about trying to make it my self but it looks like its chrome plated and maybe ground. we dont have a cylindrical grinder so i cant grind it or an EDM machine for the square hole. the leak was getting pretty bad. in 2 weeks time i put on about...

the sleeve didnt really break it just cracked in 2 spots 180 deg. apart. the cracks are about 1” long. once it cracked i turned the vise grips up all the way and the only way it would move is to turn the sleeve just a bit back and forth as i pryed up. it didnt crack untill it was half way out...

hey thetool, thanks for the great explanation. i think im the worlds best procrastinator but i finally got to fixing that leak, eeerrrrr, well trying to fix that leak. i had a slight problem. the control sleeve would not come out so i kept clamping harder and harder with the vise grips...

well thanks for all the help. i guess i will look for a 72” bucket to weld teeth on. today i finally got a chance to try it out on my friends track. i think a 72” bucket is all it can really handle. there was a few times that i had a heaping bucket of black wet dirt and had to catch my self...

my dads gota miller 210. it can weld i think 1/2 or maybe 3/8 in one pass. i would think that would be enough. like with my bucket do they get welded to the bolt on edge or take off the bolt on edge and weld them to the weld on edge and bucket its self?

how hard is it to weld the teeth on. can i do it with a wire feed or do i need a stick welder? its hard to find a bucket with teeth, i have a feeling i will be adding teeth to a bucket one way or the other. i would like to have 2 buckets though. one with teeth and one without.

is that just those teeth that bolt on? i have looked at those but they dont work with a bolt on cutting edge because its to thick. if i take the cutting edge of is that welded on edge of the bucket hard enough it wont wear out right away?

hey guys im having a heck of a time deciding what to do. i bought my 853 with a 72” (vring bucket i think the sticker says) bucket that has a bolt on cutting edge. the “main” purpose i have is to build and maintain motocross tracks. my own plus some friends. after i bought it last fall i had...

i have never used seafoam in a diesel. but i use it all the time in gas engines. mainly when i forget to put any kind of fuel stabilizer in befor long term storage. it seems to work really well for any carb that has gum/varnish built up in it and wont run for crap.

the one thing i would recomend is get the biggest and newest one you can. unless you have to get into tight spots. i was looking at maybe getting a 753. it would have done everything i wanted it to, but the 853 i ended up with does everyhting i want, just better and faster :) i would have...

on my 853 there is a small round hole just behind the pin for the lift cyc. stick your finger in there and you should be able to feel it. it sticks out of the bottom of the ram.
