Hi all i have a 96 bobcat 763 and my steel lines running along the right lift arm are leaking. The ones that run to the tilt cylinder. Well one is for sure leaking. So I called bobcat they tell me the lines are no longer available. He gave me part numbers 6706835 and 6706834 I tried searching the net with no luck. He said to have hoses made and run those. Any other ideas? Or go with the hoses?
I bought this machine used about 150 hours (1330 current hours) ago. I’ve had a few issues with it, despite pretty low hours on the clock. Was running it today, and power started dropping on a moderate to steep slope. Felt like a fuel delivery issue. I checked to make sure I had closed the water separator drain, started it back up, and drove 20 yards down to level ground. When I opened the rear door again, there was hydraulic fluid on the belt shield shown here. There was also oil on the coolant reservoir on the back door. Reservoir was totally full, but I drew fluid out with a syringe, and there was oil on the top.
Is there any way to determine if I have a failure in my oil cooler, or if the previous owner mistakenly added oil to the coolant, as those caps are both on the cooler?

2017 Cat 259D getting the low voltage notification. Battery is new, and charged to make sure. So guessing it’s the alternator. Local dealership wants $965 plus tax, EBay has ones with terrible reviews for $100-$150. Is there a middle ground? We have a couple of rebuilders still around, but they’re quoting 2-3 week turnarounds now.
What on my 763 runs it? I have a switch on my joystick, is that it? Thanks
Did my first track removal on the SK800 and quickly realized I needed to upgrade my little hand pump. This worked great and it has a little adapter on the side that holds the test gauge so I don’t lose that.
Also added the Ez-Lube adapter.
First off, please don't fry me. I just purchased an SDLOOL skid steer, and it has died on the second day. Please be kind, my day is bad enough already. My budget was limited, and this was my best option at the time. I'm not familiar with skid steers, but I'm becoming so quite rapidly.
It's the V1000 model, with 25hp Kubota D902 engine. It's new with only a few hours on it. I ran it yesterday doing basic tests, mainly scooping dirt and moving it around. Today, I was testing a tiller in a large garden, on fluffy top soil that was already scooped with a bucket and spread. I could kick it with my foot. It is not heavy material. I'm running at 1/2 throttle, and the machine didn't bog down.
I notice a little smoke coming up the engine compartment, and immediately turned it off. There was some whitish smoke inside the engine compartment but it didn't linger more than 30-60 seconds or so. To me, it smells more electrical than a mechanical failure or burnt fluid. The engine will turn over, but slowly, like it has a low battery.
The three-digit LED gauges are not bright, and are hard to read in the sunlight. All appear to show error codes. The fuel gauge says E88, oil temp gauge reads 88E, the voltmeter reads 8 <two vertical lines, the top left vertical segment and the bottom right vertical segment*> 8.
* the lit LED segments are F and C if that helps.
No issues with temp or oil pressure that I know of. Hydraulic lines were cold. I found no leaks or obvious damage. Fluids were good, and just filled two days ago by the dealer. There are no oil leaks, no leaking or burst lines, no burnt residue that I can see anywhere in the engine compartment. I put my hand, with a quite thin work glove, on the engine perhaps 5 minutes after shut down, and it was not excessively hot.
Any ideas what might be wrong or what happened? I will be contacting the dealer tomorrow, but want to understand if I could have done anything to cause it, if it's something I can test and verify so I can provide information to the dealer. I'm trying to prepare for the potential that this just cost me a lot of money. I'm praying that it's just the $100 alternator. Ideas?
My Bobcat S160 is horrid inside. There was a rodent infestation and also 15 years of regular dirt.
I did shop vac out most of it, but it's still nasty.
Can I foam it up with some cleaner and hose it down or would that damage electrical stuff?
1500 later and I now have a turd but functional skidsteer. Was my grandfathers and was left in the woods for 15 years. My main issue if a swapped it with a predator 459cc that I found for a deal on marketplace and I’m thinking I should have went a little bigger. Currently on my second hydraulic flush still straight milky but has been fun to play with
Looking at these 2 mini brush cutters:

https://quickattach.com/products/brush-buster-mini-mini-rotary-brush-mower
Price is similar except shipping. Looks like direct drive in IDT vs a gearbox 90 in the QA. Trying to be reasonable price but not cheaply made. Thoughts?
I am hoping someone here can help me out. I have a Case 440-3 skid with a thumbwheel switch on the right joystick that is going bad. The thumbwheel controls the hydraulic in/out and flow of hydraulic attachments. These switches are in many different model skids, not just 440-3.
If someone can measure the switch voltage at idle, then at each extreme of the wheel. Idle should measure 2.5V. Extremes will either measure 4.5v and 0.5v or they will measure 4v and 1v.
Three wires. Black is ground. Red is input. Yellow is output. So you would measure black and yellow while moving the switch.
Thumbwheel is marked OTTO Controls. HTW series switch with detent at both ends with spring return to center. Case/New Holland part number 87668736 which Case NH sells for about $330. OTTO sells these same switches for about $100. OTTO not helpful finding solution.
I have narrowed down the equivalent OTTO switch. The information needed is the second number after HTW. I know the OTTO part number starts HTW-2X, where X is either A,D,J, or M. J and M are identical to A and D except with “tighter tolerance”.
I am sure there are tons of other people that would benefit from this information. Thank you in advance!
I was power raking the ground outside my bedroom and sucked up a chainsaw. The shit is all twisted and stuck together now. I'm trying to pull it out but honestly all that's doing is making me pissed off. How do I reverse the rake so I can get the chainsaw out.
Hey there, not sure if this is the right place to post for help, but my 2018 Bobcat T770 Skidsteer has started to have a battery drain issue. I have the battery pulled and I'll get it tested tomorrow, but I don't think the battery is the issue as it's less than 2 years old, and I've had a few other things happen:
It was dead every morning this week and I noticed that sometimes when I would get out of the cab, I would get a small shock when I grabbed the grab handle.
It only threw low battery codes, except one time it popped a bunch of codes:
DCU fault
Wrong DCU detected
Tampering fault
Glow plug signal fault
Deluxe panel no communication
Drive operating mode switch short to ground or battery
Rail pressure sensor fault
DEf backflow pump short to ground
I'm guessing a harness has rubbed through somewhere, but I have no idea where to start.
Just a shot in the dark here but has anyone else had this problem and / or might have a good starting point for me?
Thanks. Pic of it in action. Love the machine and it's a beast.
Found some cheap auger setup on Facebook. For the little bit of use it will get, just curious if their's any long term damage i should worry about.
