What did you do then? There doesn't appear to be an easy way to access that tank. Does the bottom plate come off or do you have to disconnect all the hydraulics above the tank to do the repair? Mine must be broken off at the 3/4 tank level.

Thanks for the reply. It doesn't appear to flatten the primer. But I'm almost sure now that there is gasoline in the tank. Will this cause any permanent damage to the engine? How difficult is it to access the tank to inspect for algea or a bad pick up tube?

My 753 has a problem that I hope somebody can help me troubleshoot. It acted like it ran out of fuel although the guage indicated half a tank. I topped it off without any improvement( not a guage failure). I replaced the fuel filter and it started and ran well until I started working. Then it...

The attachment that I would really like to put on is a brush cutter. They do have different motors on them for different flow rates. Do you know what my 753 has for a flow rate in GPM. Is it generally listed in the operators manual or somewhere on the machine?

Many thanks to Frogfarmer, Tazza and others for guidance. With much heating and pounding I finally forced the pin far enough to remove the bucket. In the process I discoverd the grease fitting which would have made all this unnecessary. After the bucket was off, I had to punch out the rolled pin...

Thanks for your reply but there must be something else going on. Now that the temps aren't in the sub zero range, I don't get the warning code at startup. You would think that a broken wire or bad sensor would fail regardless of the temp. Thanks for your input anyway.

I'm getting a warning code with an alarm when I start my Bobcat 753. The display reads HF1-6. The book says it's "No sensor signal". What does this mean? Have I possibly damaged something by operating it after getting this message? I thought it might be due to the hydraulic fluid being on the...

I'm apprehensive about pounding too hard on the bottom of the pin. I'm afraid that it will mushroom and never slide through. Is it advantagous to remove the top spring and lever assembly and pound on the top to free it up before pounding it back and out?

I inherited my Dads 753 Bobcat. He never took off the dirt bucket. I would like to use a different attatchment and can only get one side to release. I've soaked it with juice and heated it cherry red and quenched it with water. I've pounded and used a pipe to give me more advantage on the trip...

Our Bobcat 753 is great, but I find that there a lot of attachments that won't work because it has too low a GPM output on its attachments hydraulics. Is there a way to upgrade to a higher GPM for attachments?
