My heater motor is on its last legs. When started cold it is making a noise like the bushing are bad. Once it warms up it seems to be fine. I wonder if anyone has an aftermarket part number for a replacement?

Todd V: I do not consider your comments rude. The position of the hose caused me problems trying to break loose the fitting. Instead of spending a lot of effort to try and get it loose I just decided to plug the line at the valve body. For me, knowing people in the hose business it would be more...

I had to order a switch so took a few days to get. I installed the switch and all appears fine with the light coming on when cold and slowing going out in the following few minutes. Tonight I noticed a hydraulic leak above the battery. The leak is coming from one of the rubber lines at the crimp...

That is interesting about the heater. I am curious to hear what others have to say when they try it. The heater on these machines just suck. Brian

Just found my light on for the hydraulic oil pressure. Usually this comes on for a 30 seconds or so when it is cold but today it stayed on. I looked back by the filter and the switch is leaking. Just wondering if anyone has had this issue? Are these switches known for leaking or is there...

I agree one of the better sites for help and information. I learned a lot about My Bobcat and skid-steers in general. It would have taken twice as long and learned half as much without this site. Brian

Just get the parts and do it. The parts are cheap and the only way to find out for sure is to take it out. Once you have it out might as well just replace the parts anyway. If I remember the grommet is on the left side looking from the front of the machine. Get a piece of plywood cut to fit to...

I replaced my pickup tube last winter on my 763. You don't have to pull the motor, it's just hard to access. Once you figure out which line at the tank you have to remove just pry the grommet out and it comes right out. Some come out easier than others but it will come out. Just have a new...

Have not seen this yet, so here it is. Merry Christmas everyone and hopefully no major problems to deal with this year. Brian

I have a 97 763 that I purchased about 6 years ago and it had a repaired boom at that time. It appears to be a normal thing for that design, and mine has never caused me any grief. Sounds like a good machine that should serve you well. Brian

Yes I had my doubts due to the access as it is probably just 6", bolt recessed 1/8 and you could not see the end of the stud. That's why I would not even try till I talked to buddy down the road, for fear of screwing it up. When you fool around with that type of thing quite a bit it sure helps...

Well I had a better look today and as I thought it was broken off in the cast piece that is bolted to the motor. There is very little room to do anything except with maybe a right angle drill. I went down the road to a buddy who owns a machine/Fab shop. He came up and figured he could build up...

No the stub is inside about 1/8 of an inch. I will get a better look today. The bolt had been failing for awhile because when you looked at the end that broke it was rusty except for about 1/8" on the outside on one side. Brian

Just noticed that my blower belt was off the pulley. My employee probably didn't notice the difference in noise or it just happened. The last few weeks we have used it for less than a couple minutes at a time so overheating should not be a problem. What I have found was the bolt that holds it on...

Nice shop Ken Brian
