If you have not found logos yet for your unit,, try Amazon. Just key in your model number and you will most likely find actual ready to use logos for your machine. I have an 863 turbo model F and found replacements for several of mine.

Upon checking I found that I mis stated the number switchs for lights. There is only 1 rocker switch. 3 positions. Off, Headlights and rear work lights. I put a test light in the light sockets of each of the 2 white and 2 red rear lights with the key on. I got power from each socket. I did not...

No I havent. My manual shows the relays in the back on the left side by the battery. Is that your location on you G model? I will check out the relays this weekend. Thanks siduramaxde

Ok Tazza you lost me at HELLO! Your suggestion is a good one and I will have son #1 the electrical engineer when he is over perform the check you suggest. Unless it sparking, has a blue flame shooting out of it or I can see a broken connection, it is out of my knowledge zone as it relates to...

Forgot to mention. I have a friend that works for Chrylser at the proving grounds in Michigan. He is great with welding and fabricating. I was thinking of a plate mounted to the bucket that you could quick attache the winch to when needed. A harness would be available to plut in when I needed...

Hello Harry N . AS for the trees and stumps, it gets to size. Many of mine were 10 to 12 inches in diam. I cut the biggest trees down first. Limbed them out. Left a tall stump. I am 6.4 and leave the stumps up 5 feet off the ground. Also leave may of the biggest limbs on the side I want the tree...

Good advice. Thanks. Always looking for the best way to do something.

On my 863 I pushed on a wire lead and it broke off the sending unit. the unit screws onto a fitting on the hydro filter. The unit has a brass piece with a small nut on it coming out of the end of the sending unit. The wire has a small connecter on it that attaches to the sendinding unit by this...

Thank you for picking up on my error. When I looked again, there is only one rocker switch for lights. As you said they are Off, Headlights, and both Headlights and rear lights. I used a 12 volt tester and pulled out the bulb in both the work lights and tail lights with switch on. I got a strong...

Thanks Tazza for responding. Yes the unit was running. I was also thinking maybe the sender unit, although new could be at fault. I will check it out and let you know. The dealer I go to is great to work with. If the part I purchased is suspect, I am sure they will get me another to try and if...

Can someone suggest to me a course of action on this little problem. I have a lat model 863 turbo F series Bobcat. When I was changing the Hydro filter I accidently broke the end off a sending unit. This I am told is a Hydro temp sending unit. It screws into one of the filters. It has a brass...

To all. I agre with Tazza. I have a 863 turbo series F and I found that the tip capacity is very accurate. I am a former Operating Engineer so I am comfortable using the weight of the unit when moving, lifting and pulling. you can accomplish alot but I stay slightly south of the specs for saftey...

I agree with your response. I have an older model 863 turbo series F. Very tough to stall it our when pulling and pushing. I have stuck my unit twice is the years I have had it and that was due to me driving into a stump hole I did not see after days of rain. My own fault. I am wondering if...

I have an 863 turbo. I cleared fence rows in 40 acres I purchased. I bought a Quick Attach Eagle Talon grapple. Fantastick attachment. Took out all but the bigges stumps. On smaller trees I just pushed them over and the grapple pulled the entire root ball out. You can back rake as well and pick...

Can someone help me out with this question. I have an older model model 863 turbo F series Bobcat. I have the repair manual which is extensive. Great for repair but I do not have the owners manual on this unit. Question is this. On the upper left side of the cab is the rocker switch for the...
