Thank you. Helpful. Found that I had to pull on the right handle trigger once with aux button engaged and locked to get flow to backhoe controls. Works like a charm. Thank you for the help.

Hi friends. Have s model 812 backhoe for my 863F Bobcat. It’s hooked up and hydraulic hooked up. I have not used before. I hit the interlock button, brake is set and I hit the aux buttons on the top right. Only way I can get backhoe to work is if I also hold the button on right steering lever. I...

Hello. I bought a rarely used 811 Backhoe attachment along with the complete dogs from the city of Toledo auction. All original and looks new. Not sure what to ask for in terms of cost. I’ve never used it and it’s been stored in my shop since I bought it.

After so many times in situations like this, I overlook the simple and most obvious and fear something much worse. I had that tire off for a repair and put it on backwards. Flipped it around this weekend and its just fine. I will try to remember to look for the obvious and simplest causes first...

Glad to see this thread. I bought new top glass and gasket for my 863F 6 years ago and have yet to put it in. Going to try it again now. I tried the screwdriver trick but lost patience.

Jacking up tomorrow to verify one way or the other Farmshop. Again my thanks.

Thank you for the response farmshop. I don't believe I have offset as I would have noticed it before as it somewhat stands out. As for tires getting mounted backward, that is an interesting question. Reason saying that is I had this specific tire off and a tube put in due to puncture just a...

Hello everyone. Been a while since I have been on, to post a question. I just noticed today while moving round bales that I have one wheel out farther than the one in front of it by what looks like a quite a bit. Just noticed it while checking tires and standing in back of the unit, the left...

I see what you are saying TriHonu. I was really thinking of a form of mechanical indicator. Great feedback everyone and thank you.

This is what I recall when I used to run a Case 580B backhoe. That was were I got my idea from of fabricating something for that purpose. Thank you JDWY and everyone whom responded.

Thank you mikron. My Bobcat tech is only 30 mins for my place and said its not a bad repair and can be done by a novice but can be tricky doing it in place. He was at my place replacing a broken fuel pick up tube that broke and I asked about the leak on my hydraulics and using so much fluid. He...

Hello Tazza and group. I have an 863F series turbo. Love it. Had a broken fuel pick up tube this spring and the part was $12.00 USD and the labor was $300.00. I couldn't get it done but the Bobcat tech had it fixed in a couple of hours. Terrible design to get at the fuel tank pick up. As for...

Good point Tazza. Still trying to figure it out. With the factory self leveling, the machine does it of course. My thought was that if you had a physical indicator so that with bucket or bale spear on the ground and level, the two lines or indicators would match up together. As you raise the...

Hello everyone. Has anyone ever fabricated a bucket level indicator on their 863 Bobcat? Stacking round hay bales overhead and helps to have the bale spear level for getting the fresh bales off the spear. Looked online for something stock but have not found anything. On my old Case 580B backhoe...

Hello everyone. I know this post if from weeks ago but if you have not gotten it sorted yet, I'm sure you have, I had this happen on my 863F turbo. Driving along with a round bale of hay, stops dead like is just died. Didn't sputter at all. Could get it to start and try to run but it...
