I am looking at purchasing an 1999 bobcat 873 w/2400 hours for what seems to be a good price due to some needed repairs. The machine runs and operates as is but needs attention to the following: tires are slick, boom has been broken and patched in four different places and in the process some of the hydraulic hardlines were bent, and the major issue is that when at idle the machine wants to pull to the left, at full throttle it does not pull but you can tell the pressure on the left wheels seems to be delayed or possibly surging. I don't want to buy this thing and then lose money after repairs, is it possible the the steering problem could be a simple adjustment needed on the left stick? Thanks for any comments and advise.
