I have an old C-series 763 and am giving it much needed major service. All belts, fluids, filters, etc. I plan to change oil/filter, fuel filter, air filters, etc and will likely do hydraulic oil too even though it's about 500 hours old and manual says 1000. I also want to change the chain case...

water pump bearing froze up - so 763 skid is in my shop all torn apart. Trying to decide if I try parts from All Skidsteers.com or pay the 50-150% more at bobcat? Anyone use their parts - or have other vendor suggestions? Changing all belts including main pump drive belt, water pump, radiator...

At the recommendation of Bobcat service manager - I'm looking to replace the right hand joystick handle on my 763 C series. It has only the momentary left/right switch that controls the aux hydraulics, and the trigger for the horn/beeper. 5 wires total. Bobcat wants $450 for this handle - part...

thanks for reply. I don't believe the control is proportional? It's pretty much on or off. I'll look in service manual and see if I can find a wiring diagram. There are 3 wires in one connector (I assume the aux hydr) and two wires in another connector (I assume for the horn trigger? that has...

thanks Dan - I didn't take the switch apart. It's completely enclosed (potted) in the handle assembly. I did remove the cover over the exposed toggle portion and blew it out/sprayed with contact cleaner. The handle does spring back to center better in one direction than the other - but it does...

I posted a problem with the aux hydraulic light (engagement button) not staying on after changing out the steel control (steering/drive) lever arm. The wires for aux engagement toggle switch in the handle grip run through the arm. Initially, the light would not stay engaged and the aux hyd would...

I tried this in the general repair forum and didn't get it resolved so I'm posting here in Skidsteers. Hope thats ok? 763 C series - I changed a rusted off control arm lever and now my aux hydraulics won't stay engaged? The actuator switch is of course in the right hand control grip. At first...

Thanks for the reply Tonka... I've read a little about the stems and I'm not sure I understand where you are headed? The issue is not one direction or the other not working - the AUX system won't stay engaged - light blinks on and then goes off again? I can hear it try to click in when pushed...

763 C series - I changed a rusted off control arm lever and now my aux hydraulics don't work. The actuator switch is of course in the right hand control grip. At first the yellow light on "dash" stayed on and it worked for a short bit, but was intermittent. Now the yellow light will only come on...

Recenty purchased a 30C auger with a broken lower housing. It's a rounded cast piece, it also appears the main shaft is broke off? The break is clean and straight on the splined shaft though? Any help please?

Thanks guys, thats great that it is fixable without the full removal I thought! Since its WAY too long since I opened mine up- is the pickup accessed from under seat I assume? Or beside motor? Is there any chance of it being anything else, or should I just go get the parts and do this? Does this...

All we got of your reply was "it" fish files? Appreciate any input, including an end around option for a new pickup as I am NOT pulling motor/hydro like the manual suggests. I think I'll put a tank on the roof first, LOL Any other possibilities, curious what bobcatdan meant above pump valve...

My 763 C series with Kubota diesel died last week - lost power, idled for about 30 secs then died and wouldnt restart. Today I changed fuel filter, refueled, tried to prime and nothing. Didn't seem to be pulling fuel out of 3/4 full tank. So I disconnected at primer bulb and put hose into a 5...
