Bobcat 773 Chain Case Oil

[@rss608]

Thank you, this really helped out. need to reseal my plate on my 01 753G. the tidbit about the stripping out the case bolts was good!

[@rss608]

After I got the plate off I discovered that the front case weld was 1/8" high preventing the plate from sealing. it was pivoting on the high weld spot, took my grinder to it with a cutting blade to reach it. Now it sits flush and seals well.

Great to hear - I've had 6 hydraulic leaks already... seems as soon as I fix it, the next one downstream goes. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you. This helped me out alot!

[@kytodd7802]

That's great to hear, thanks for the feedback. I don't use my machine very often, so I take some short cuts. A professional probably would have replaced the fluid, but I wanted to do it on the cheap. So far no issues!

[@jasoncoulter2834]

Do you know if the chaincase oil mixes with the hydraulic fluid by chance?

[@kytodd7802]

The chaincase oil does not mix with the hydraulic system. The hydraulic reservoir is behind the cab.

Where did you get that replacement seat?

[@leonbennett2645]

Undo the nozzle put glad wrap( sandwich plastic film doubled over the cartridge nozzle & screw the extension nozzle back on) & put the tube into the refrigerator until needed .

how long do you think you can go before those chains either skip or break?

[@kytodd7802]

Good morning - I thought about that after posting this... I don't think it matters if they skip occasionally since they aren't timing anything, I would just lose wheel traction under load. Could become annoying. The teeth on the sprocket still looked good, so I suspect I'll be good for as long as I own it (I only use it a few hours a week). If it becomes an issue I will replace them (chains are ~100 bucks or $200 from Bobcat.

What kind of oil do I need on the engine of bobcat skid steer 1979?

[@kytodd7802]

Hi Ran, What model number is your machine? Looks like there were a few different engines for that year. I don't have the manual, but will keep an eye out. Per Bobcat: "A 10W-30 weight oil is a common factory-fill for many current production machines. It offers top performance in temperatures typically ranging from zero degrees F to 90 degrees F and above. A 15W-40 weight performs well from 25 degrees F to 110 degrees F and above." Synthetic or synthetic-blended oils are formulated with additives that can extend oil change intervals and promote longer engine life. A 5W-40 weight synthetic oil is usually capable of providing protection in harsh conditions as cold as minus 40 degrees F and as hot as 120 degrees F.
