Hey folks! New to the forum and now dealing with a poorly maintained bobcat 763 for light work on mother's horse stables. Dad took it on trade and didn't know much about its history. I am guessing mid-90's or earlier.

I rebuilt the front bucket cylinder last summer after it failed on him in the field. On to the next issue... the steering controls are loud and whining. I believe this symptom is not new. The unit creeps forward about a foot per minute when idling. If I am not careful and bump them, it will surge forward and kill the engine. The steering handles seem pretty sloppy. It sounds almost like a dry power steering pump although it seems to work reasonably well.

I've read through similar issues here but wonder if there a general rebuild you all recommend or a trouble shooting guide I should follow as a relative novice in hydraulic systems?

Perhaps if you want to rebuild your drive motors or do the bushings it's straight forward and the motors should be pretty close to these let me know if you have any questions
Best of luck
