I just got a good deal on a 863.... It needed a oil pump because the guy put the timing belt on to tight and snapped the oil pump shaft.... So now I got it running,it seems to be ok.now I have 2 questions 1) what is common to the gauge cluster on the right side of the cab (non boss) that would make the gauges not work? The back ground lights work on the gauges but no fuel,oil temp,and volts reading. 2) I didn't run it long or move it yet (mess in the garage) but how do I get it to move and operate? What I mean is the BICS lights come on when the seat bar is down and my ass in the seat. If I hit the traction override button that light comes on but how do I get the bucket controls to engage? I have had older bobcats without BICS (and was always a little neurvous getting in and out).i have owned a cat 226 and loved that machine and regret selling it.
