I've been binging this guy's videos for a few days. When he says he does these videos for us he really means it. This video is a good example when he could've used his vacuum setup for the hydro fluid but says we probably don't have that option so he didn't use it and the spring compression with the zip ties. Those types of things are all throughout his videos. He is truly trying to help people, the average guy out there that doesn't have thousands of dollars to throw at a dealer or just guys that would prefer to do it themselves or guys out on site that need to get it fixed fast. Overall I would be willing to bet this channel has saved people hundreds of thousands in repair costs. Whatever money he's made on these videos which is probably not much he deserves more. He's not out making videos just to show off what he knows and what he can do. He has a wealth of knowledge and he's great at passing that knowledge on in an easy to understand way. It's so awesome this knowledge will be preserved for the foreseeable future in video form. If you are reading this, thanks brother I appreciate you and these videos.

I had to buy the 753 to help do clean up after hurricanes here in central Florida, it wasn't really in my budget but needed it bad, so being able to save money fixing things myself is a big deal. Your video has the best real content that I needed, I'll be watching you from now on ...thanks so much.

We have just bought a 2003 bobcat 753, it has a ton of issues and bodges that the previous owners are responsible for. We are currently working through these problems. Your videos are really helpful, clear and well edited, you deserve a lot more subscribers. Hope to see more videos on the bobcat stuff. Many thanks from the UK.

Thank you so much for the comment! Let me know if you have any specific questions on your machine.

Was your only symptom prior to the repair an oil leak? Or did you have any creeping issue

I never write comments on KZbin, just wanted to say that you should keep up the good work on these videos. U are so helpful, and I can honestly say that I haven’t found a youtuber who knows these machines better than you. There is only one reason why you don’t have more subs that’s the KZbin algorithm. You will need to upload more often, if you want more wives… I just bought an old Bobcat 753, and your videos are a lifesaver. A big thank you from Denmark.

[@joshsautoandcustoms9840]

I still enjoy the opportunities I get to work on equipment. You always made me try to figure out how to fix it by myself first then would step in if I still needed help. You are also one of the contributing people who made want to create my company with a higher level of customer service and repair quality.

Do you have a video on centering steering your videos are great searched through all of them and can’t find one of setting steering I have a 863 with steering issues removed top plate found steer triangle’s loose and pivot bearings frozen got all that taken care of and went to set steering sense it had a creep but found with the plate off the top of the pumps right pump finds center fairly easy but left pump fights to find center and it’s a really narrow section where I can find neutral but I was hoping to find a video to center the pump if you have that if not any information is much appreciated

[@tetradgroup]

Great idea,

[@TomBaugh]

Thanks for doing a great job on your videos. Keep up the good work. I have an s205 that has an unbalanced steering. It was a good view of the mechanism "linkage" from pintle through linkage. I hope to figure it all out. Some sort of balancing act it seems. Extend one rod and the other is inadequate. I'll have to go through your videos and see if you address that elsewhere.

[@tetradgroup]

Thanks for the great information , I have 753 c series same issue oil leak from the Pintle shaft , may i know the part number on the seal . thanks

[@jamescorbin3666]

I need to do this on my 773. What is the best way and easiest way to drain the hydraulic fluid. Also you mentioned you had a vacuum system to use on the hydraulic system. Can you show a video of it. Thank you for your great videos. They are very helpful.

[@dkdj5]

I appreciate your videos! I have a 743B. I was using it very roughly digging out a stump with a lot of tilting forward and backward of machine. Banging down sometimes. Now loader only goes up. Goes down extremely slowly. One time it went down normal if I shut off engine. Tilt doesn't move either. I suspect something in the spool valve. I don't mind paying for your assistance through email or phone if required. It may be spaced out so I thought I should contact you first for how that would work. Thank You, Duane

[@tetradgroup]

Sounds like the auxiliaries are engaged. Male sure right drive lever is pushed to the outside.

[@KM-bv3fp]

What oil do you use for hydro oil? I bought a used machine with no manual and there seems to be a debate on what oil to use. I have an S175 that is very similar to your machine and this pump video is really helpful and confidence inspiring.

[@tetradgroup]

Well thank you for the comment. Yes there's always going to be debate on what hydraulic oil to use. I personally use bobcat hydraulic oil. It is more expensive and it comes out to about an ISO 40 weight. However the Bobcat oil has a much higher zinc content for lubrication. If you were to lose hydraulic oil such as a busted hose or another issue you would want that high zinc content to protect the internal components if something were to happen. Not perfect but peace of mind if you can stick with the Bobcat oil.

[@mohmdzeid9526]

[@jessejuanbella]

Question u mentioned that ur bobcat creeps forward I was wondering how did u fix that I have a 753 and was wondering how to fix it

[@tetradgroup]

It might be time for a steering rebuild however you can buy some time by adjusting the steering blocks on top of the pumps. They're probably worn and have some slop between the block and the bearings. It's not hard to do, it's just a little difficult to explain. Start by raising the machine off the ground, start the machine lower the arm bar release the brakes and then raise the cab at this point the side that creeps should be spinning freely off the ground. You'll see the centering blocks on top of the pump you'll need a 9/16 wrench to loosen the bolts just barely and then tap the bolts with a hammer to push the block tighter against the bearings until the steering becomes perfectly neutral. This is a very vague explanation but maybe it'll make sense once you look at it closer.

[@lucyandjumper7558]

Can you do a vid on the steering adjustment? I have an 863 that has a little left reverse creep.. Would appreciate thanks@!

I'm trying to find the correct procedure to set the steering geometry, are there any good videos? Special tools? Does it have to be in the air and running to find the neutral position?

[@ericfraser7543]

Can you replace a roller bearings on the steering triangle without removing the whole assembly? my 863 version has a Allen key bolt securing the roller bearing, which is accessible, though looks like there is nut below it which may not be captured based on the parts diagram. Did not know if I try taking it apart if the nut will fall out without disassembling it first? The 863 has a hydraulic line running through the middle of its steering plate.

[@tetradgroup]

That has a center charge pump on it however you can still remove the plate and just spin it around the line and remove the triangles. That's going to be the easiest way.

[@ericfraser7543]

@@tetradgroup Yes, I figured that... I was just hoping it was going to be an easier fix without removing the steering plate and pulling the steering triangle...

Tutti i problemi elettrici apparentemente risolti , rimane la scarsa forza di trazione e il fatto che fermandola in salita tende a scendere , il concessionario Bobcat ha collegato lo strumento di diagnosi e ha controllato la pressione di alimentazione che risulta perfettamente nei parametri (29,5 bar al massimo dei giri) almeno a freddo o comunque senza che abbia lavorato prima di collegare lo strumento, a questo punto chiedo qualche consiglio su cosa controllare, io avevo pensato ai motori di trazione, ho dato anche un occhiata al manuale e sulla parte idrostatica parla di sostituire in filtro idraulico (già sostituito anche questo), e di due filtri sfiato carter che non ho capito ne dove siano e neanche la loro funzione, mi sapresti aiutare?
