I do get some smoke but the machine has a ton of power and no knocking, noises or other problem I have found.

I just ran my 220 for about 1 hour after parking it has a small oil puddle under the blow by hose is this normal or should I be concerned? The machine has 2100 hours on it and I don't know the history I just purchased it. I have plenty of power and the hydraulics run great just an oil leak.

how deep will it dig?

I just purchased a s220 I am wondering if a 909 Backhoe will fit it? I have an opportunity to purchase one at a reasonable price.

This is not a problem now I didn't purchase the 763 I got a s220 I think it was a better choice for what I wanted to use it for.

A pallet of versa lock is about 2000 lbs

I am looking at purchasing a 763 but Bobcat said it would not lift a pallet of versa lock block but a friend of mine said it would lift and move them without any problems any experience doing this?

Ok what do you fill the chain case with? I have asked around and I have gotten everything from gear lube to hydrostatic fluid.

5 or 10 min.

I have a 1998 553 I just replaced the right motor and that fixed the original problem that I was having but now I have a whining sound coming from a block on the left side I’m not sure what it does but if I throttle it up the noise goes away. I have also read about a brass filter on other models...

How many hours is a 843 good for I found a really nice clean 843 with 7000 hours on it I'm not sure if they are correct or someone just left a key on. Tires have 80% runs good and he wants 5000.00. Any input?

Ok I read a lot of things on the forum but I am puzzled people talk about the weld breaking on the sprocket but how can the sprocket be welded to an axel shaft that is removable? If I do have a broken weld do I just weld it in the chain case or do I remove it first? Sorry for all the questions...

I am new to skid steers I just purchased a 553 but I can't get the hydraulics to work when I push the unlock button under the key it will move back and forth but the boom will not move. My bics box only has the power light on it until I push the button the second light from the bottom lights up...
