Bobcat 753 OTT

[jbrown14]

Hello SkidSteer Forum New member here, just picked up some Bobcat Brand OTTs for my '01 Bobcat 753. I was hoping someone could give me some advice on what wheel spacers to purchase. I am pretty sure I need the 8-bolt 9/16" pattern. Are 2" spacers enough? Also, if anyone has any advice on the safest and easiest way to install the spacers without a lift I would appreciate the assist! Thanks

unless you have inverted rims i'm not sure you need them, should be plenty of room if you widen your machine that much then you need a wider bucket

I'd put 1.5" spacers on it. I've never seen a small frame with 2" spacers. To install, jack up and put jack stands under the rear axles, do both rear tires then jack the front and put stands under the axles, do both fronts. If you don't have jack stands, put blocks of wood under the machine.

When i bought spacers I was told they are all made in china so shop for the best price. Got mine on e-bay from skidsteer solutions in Washington state way cheaper than the dealer. They do add weight , mine are 2" and add about 80 lbs.

I was able to fit the tracks on without spacers. There appears to be enough clearance around the frame. However the problem I am having now is that the bucket arms will rest on the track when lowered all the way down. Thoughts?

Some brands of loaders you have to install a stop to keep the arms of the tracks.
