Did you get your chains from the dealer? Did they come with the link? I was looking at these chains, http://www.loaderpartssource.com/superior-capacity-chain-asni-80.html Has anyone used them? Do you know how long your chains were? Were you able to put them in without pulling the axles...

Does anyone know the front drive chain size and length for a bobcat 773? Is it size 80 roller chain? Thanks

It's a G series

I am looking at a 709 backhoe with the ball mounts. The ball mounts are currently on a 751. Does anyone know if the ball mounts will fit a 773? Does anyone have a picture of what the ball mounts look like on the machine? Thanks!

Before replacing the fluids in the Bobcat the bottom right warning light came on. I thought it was just low on fluid and went ahead with a service. I replaced the main filter, and the two drain case filters, and all of the fluid with Bobcat fluid. After the service the warning light is still...

Will a S175 cab door and side glass fit a G series 1999 773? Thanks!

I am buying a 1999 Bobcat 773 with 2800 hours and looking for some advice on where to start with fluid changes. It doesn't have a manual with it so I will probably end up ordering one, but I wanted to get some advice on what fuilds and filters to change. Here is a list of the ones I know to...

Does anyone know how long the shaft is on the Bobcat version of the VH4D? Is it the same shaft for all 600 series? 600, 610, 630? I found a deal on a low hour motor, but it's a military version with a tapered shaft. The shaft is 5 inches long and I think the bobcat version is closer to two...

I just did a compression test on my current engine. I had two cylinders at 90, one at 80, and one at 60. Does anyone know what they should start out as? I am guessing the 60 is the one causing my problems... Sorry for all the questions but this has been very helpful! p.s. how do I skip a line...

I found a VH4d motor with less than 100 hours that I can get for under half the price of a v-twin. Is it worth trying to change motors when I can can just replace for less money. I only use this bobcat at home so I don't rely on it for income. I would like to have more reliable starting...

The foot pounds of torque on the v-twins are much lower than that of the VH4D. That was the reason for the increase in HP. I probably just need to wait to see what it looks like and see how it goes together before I figure out the shaft.

One more concern I noticed is that the Wisconsin engine is 500 LBS while these v-twin replacement options are closer to 125 lbs. Will I need to add weight in the rear to keep the balance and tipping loads close to the same? There is a Generac motor on ebay for $1800 that is rated for 40 HP that...

Is this a hydro pump that runs off a pto?

I have been looking at the 31HP Vanguard engine and the other one I am checking on is a 30HP Generac motor. I would also consider a diesel, but I can't find a deal on one to make it worth doing. The best price I have found on the 31 HP is around $1799 with exhaust. I think the motor will be...
