Newbie needs help

[User]

Hi Just pickup an old girl that appears to be in ok condition. Bobcat 643. She’s old but it’s all I could afford + I only need occasional use. Few questions: -The left pedal is hard to push and therefore its hard to land the arm where I want it. When it eventually engages the arm moves aggressively. - park brake centre pedal doesn’t appear to work. Do I tighten the nut that’s on the connecting rod? When it engages does it feel like it should click in etc. my pedal just flops around. - the machine creeps ever so slightly when she’s on. Do I adjust the mechanism or is the issue more sinister? Any tips would be appreciated. Cheers

as far as the brake goes , yes the nut does control the adjustment on the brake. hopefully it is not frozen badly be careful as to freeing it up if stuck.

Lubricate the pedals, see if that's where it's binding up.
If it hasn't been used for a while, it's possible the spool in the control valve is tight too.
