bought a used 863 bobcat w/deutz diesel several yrs ago, didn't get a service manual w/it....this afternoon, lost hydraulics, and is flashing code "hp 1"...any of you able to help?
Well if its the machine iam thinking of then open the rear door and check the drive belt hasn't snapped etc. HP1 would indicate a Output faliure and indicates a pump drive loss. Worth a bash and is a 5 min job to check Ross
you were right on the money ross, thanks!!!! $60 belt, and we're back in business.
I broke my drive belt today on a 763 I have the cover off and have ordered the belt. I wonder how you release the tensioner when putting the new belt on. Any tips? Thanks
There is a bolt on a slider just over the tensioner pulley for the belt (9/16 socket iirc) loosen that, than use a large prybar to set the tension. There should be a little arrow behind the pulley that turns as you move the pulley. I think it should be in the 3'o'clock position.
Thanks I have taken the tensioner off and do not find an arrow. There is a label on the inside of the back door that referances this arrow. I will see what happens when I get the belt abnd put some tension on the tensioner. Maybe it will pop out.
Proper tension is very important if you have missing or broken parts I would leave the belt a little loose and try the unit. The old addage if a little is good a lot is better doesn't apply here.
I receive the belt today (actually 3 different belts as I did not have the serial number so ordered all the belts for the 763) I have installed it a bit loose and it seems to work fine. There is no arrow on the tensioner. I will go to Sufwood supply the dealer in Vancouver to see if I can get the arrow as a part. I notice the tensioner has some slop in it, like the bearing is worn. Do these things have a way to greese them?
I haven't seen a tentioner with a grease fitting but if its loose I would strongly consider repalcing it. If it causes tension to one side or the other the belt will fail prematurely. Check the belt after a few hours to verify tension and that the idler is tracking properly.
My belt squeals when I crank my 863
Hdy locked up on my 863. What to do?
863 control valve replaced
why does my 863 bobcat over heat
I just bought a 2001 bobcat 863g with 2900 hours. Where do I find the drive belt? I tried starting it this morning and as soon as it fired up it was squealing and smoking like crazy. I shut it off right away. It smelled like I had smoked a belt but the only belt I can find is the one on the right hand side which is just the alternator belt, I think. What would have caused this and what can I do to fix it?
