Here is a Universal skid steer mounting plate I drew in autocad this morning. I saved it in pdf so y'all can view it. I even detailed the parts. you can substitute the 1/4" plate with 3/8" ect. If you dont have access to a break you can cut the break line and weld on at 45 deg. I have seen this...

My 843 came with 303 hydraulic fluid in it, so that is what i put in, I know that is wrong and would like to remedy that ASAP. I bought 15 gallons of 10-40 and i planned to shoot out 5 gallons replace with 10-40, drive it around abit, and repeat. I know i will never get it all out, but hopefully...

I never could find a free one but i downloaded one for 9.95 for my 843 from bobcat.backupmanuals.com its the service manual (461 pgs) but they mite have what you need.

Thanks everyone for this awsome forum,installed my brand new main relief today, the machine is brand-new almost! Wow it gets it! It's my first Bobcat, but definitely not my last! Thanks again, Nick

Good Morning everyone, i was wandering if anybody out there could tell me what the threads are on the main relief valve on an 843 with the melroe control valve, are they metric? If so, what size? my machinist thinks there like 20mm but since some of the threads are boogered he cant really tell...

Not Islamic, idling in the yard damn iPhone autocorrect!

Happy new year! Well I pulled the rest of the reliefand the o rings were shot they were in pieces! Well I put on new ones and know it's worse! I think the front one was to small. To make matters worse it was Islamic in the yard, and it just died the battery is fine but the key and idiot lights...

sorry its been a few days the hose on the back of the relief is a 1/2" i guess i used a 15/16" wrench to get it off yesterday. its been alittle slow going, my 10 month old son liles to wake up from his nap at 430 so i only have about an hour a day to work on it. i also got half of the main...

I tried that, no labour or hiss. The pressure out of the aux is 1500 psi that sucks. I have a dumb question tho, when I went to pull the main relief there is a hose on the back of it is that normal? The book dosnt show that.

@Jerry, well I ran down quick connects for the aux from the seller made a loop, and it didn't really seem to help, cobbled up a pressure gauge by brazing a few fittings together, then found out the gauges bezel screws had come out so it didn't work! Just my luck! So no reading today. I am...

well i cant wait to get home! i think im the only person sitting in the office right now and the day after Christmas no less! when i finally get off i will try everones suggestions. thanks a bunch! i will keep yall posted with the results. thanks again Nick

well i have a telephone pole burried in the yard so i hook the teeth into it and it wouldnt curl. on to dirt, with the buket half to three quarters full of dirt it wont lift or curl! i bought it from my mom and step dad for cheap because of the hydro problem it has bucket positioning, and that...

Well I played with it yesterday and ruled out the aux hydraulics. It's seems to have plenty of power down, I can lift the whole machine with the arms and curl. When I go to lift a load I hit the pedal it goes up an inch or so then stops abruptly then again and again hot or cold. Bucket auto...

New here, well here is the deal(sorry mo decent Internet here in the sticks! Using the phone) I am a new owner and my 843 has 0 up power on the hydro it scoots along fine but forget using the bucket. If I turn it off it works okay but it won't lift after warm. Well I don't know even if it works...
