[QUOTE="Porno Joe, post: 90530, member: 13063"] Hey guys just joined the forum. Last month I picked up a 1992 853G bobcat. I got it for what I think was a steal, but obviously it has some issues. Major issues: 1- doesn't run off diesel tank. Previous owner rigged up a 5 gal can and it runs fine off that 2- hydraulic leak. Still attempting to locate this. 3- glow plugs disconnected. From searching it seems the best fix for the fuel tank is to install a new pickup by removing the battery. I'm still trying to figure out the leak. Machine works fine I just have a constant drip coming from underneath. I think it may be one of the large hydraulic hoses running from the pump to the hydraulic control valve. Glow plugs- all 4 are disconnected and it looks like someone removed the relay. Also looks like one terminal for the relay was burnt. Searching said this might be a shorted glow plug. Right now I'm most concerned with the fuel tank and leak. [/QUOTE]
