Hi does anyone know where I can find a service manual for bobcat 343, cant even change an oil filter coz it's corroded and I can't read any numbers on it, have no idea where to put hydraulic oil, doesn't seem to be a resevoir for it. Buggered please help!

The 343 was built by TCM in Japan and wasn't sold in the US. You may have to contact a TCM dealer for manuals.

Yea I have since found that out, how ever TCM are not acknowledging having made a 343 either, what a brick wall. Stupid aye, it has a serial number and everything you' think they'd keep some record of what they have built.

Doing a google search,I found this: http://www.agrimanuals.com/bobcat-skid-steer-loader-343-service-workshop-manual-3278-p.asp
I would email them first to see if this is exactly what you need. With google usually if there's a will,there's a way Your mileage may very as well

The only reference to a manual for the 343 I've ever seen is the one Zorack posted a link to above. The 343 wasn't sold in the US so we have never seen one. The part number for the manual is 6570289. You might be able to get a dealer to check if its still available.

Ok, thanks! Is the information when that model is made of?

Pretty sure they were made in the mid 1980's because the publication date on the service manual is Aug. 1986.

How do you full the hydraulic up on the 343. Where is it located

The frame acts as a hydraulic reservoir. There is a plug in front of the seat

The frame acts as a reservoir. There is a plug in front of the seat. It is a relatively large one, close to two inches if I remember correctly
