Bobcat 463 help

[Alanlara333]

theres an opportunity to buy a bobcat 463 1700 hours $5k i currently own a bobcat 453 and for my type of work in residential backyards doing concrete and turf it has done me good but the only thing is the lift and tilt are slow i went to see it today and everything looked good and the lift and tilt was way faster only problem i see is that it slowly turns right unless i keep my hand and put the slightest amount of pressure foward on the right lever any ideas what it could be before i buy it i dont have alot of mechanical experience well at least with machinery but i dont mind learning thank you so much

Sounds like the right side steering linkage just needs adjustment, theres a turnbuckle/rod under the seat that centers the steering valve. Pretty common on the 463s, easy DIY fix. Could also be a weak steering spring.
