As you say, worth a shot. I have not taken the pump apart. I removed the pump to get to the rear pump plate, so I need a new 0-ring to reinstall. I also needed to remove the rear cover--so need to replace the three O-ring seals. It was one of those seals that had blown when the head of one of...

Thank you, Tazza. You are correct--LoaderPartsSource had one in stock and it's on its way. They were great to deal with, too. They have a passion, it would seem, for old Bobcats! :-)

Help! Trying to find a source for a seal kit for the gear pump on my 7753. Pump model #85501-30574. Seal kit p/n 6666340 (replaces old p/n 6655421,A) Have been calling Bobcat dealers and nobody has any in stock. Local dealer (Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada) can have a kit in two weeks. Meanwhile, 6"...

No doubt about it, Reaperman, winter is always the boss! Take her for granted or presume you have the upper hand and she will soon show you the error of your ways! Just sitting down and enjoying a beer after 6 hours of working on my driveway. We have (for us) record amounts of snow so far this...

Thanks, Tazza. Much appreciated! And Happy New Year to you!

It's all relative, Antfarmer! And to Jerry-- I can relate to the gritted teeth--though more often it genuinely is a smile. And given that I use a blade rather than a bucket, my piling consists of pushing piles to greater and greater heights, so not too much falling back into the cab. But it...

Thanks, Antfarmer. Gave them a call, but they only deal with drive and hydraulic parts, apparently. However, I was able to find a local source for a steering lever handle that includes the switch--so all is good. And price was not too bad--considering I am in the Yukon. Thanks for your suggestion!

Appreciate your concern, Jerry! But I was fine. The only suffering has been my hands, which are quite sensitive to the cold since a bit of frostbite some years ago. But I just ordered some electrically heated glove liners which should be here any day. I have thought about enclosing and heating...

It's been a while since hitting the forum, but I have been having lots of fun and learning a great deal as I put my old 7753 through its paces clearing snow and generally helping with property tasks on the homestead. But the other night the thumb rocker switch on the RH steering lever fell...

Has not shown up yet. You can reach me directly via barrett --at-- onfoot --dot-- net. (Not sure why the Kijiji would not have worked--it has always worked before. Ah well.

More info on harness--lowered price to $75 and posted ad with pictures on Kijiji. You can view at:http://yukon.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-heavy-equipment-parts-accessories-14-Pin-Universal-Harness-for-hydraulic-skid-steer-attachments-W0QQAdIdZ318791809. Let me know if you are interested.

Yep. Still have the harness.

I have a brand new 14 pin Bobcat connection harness that came with an Erskine 6-way dozer blade that I just bought. However, not having a 14 pin connector on my Bobcat, I have no need for the harness and have unplugged it from the blade. It is brand new, never used, and cost $140. I am happy to...

Not sure if my question was just too unclear or whether I stumped the forum. But, whatever the case, after doing a fair bit of digging around, I was able to figure things out--thanks especially to Shane at Erskine Attachments. Bottom line was that I was able to make my own harness to connect the...

Helpful information, SkidRoe! My SN is 509613634. I was given to understand that it was made in 1993. Part of my reason for wondering about F or G series was deciding which cab enclosure would be appropriate in due course. (Looking at SkidSteerSolutions and Northern Hardware.)
