When did I buy my first Bobcat skidsteer?
Discussion in ‘ Skid Steers ‘ started by Willis Bushogin, Jun 20, 2011 . I just bought a 1999 Bobcat 873 skidsteer. I think it has like 2400 hours on it I have owned skidsteers before, but never a Bobcat. This machine was used at a fertilizer factory so its rusty. or final drive, etc
What was the weak point of the bobcat 873?
The 873 was a rather big machine, but it’s weak point was the loader arms. They would lift so much weight that you could crack the loader arms. I’ve seen some ugly patch jobs on those booms. I really thought it was a Kubota engine, because I really have bad mouthed Deutz engines.
Where is the timing belt cover on a bobcat?
There is typically one special “torx plus” screw that holds the timing belt cover on, seems like it’s at the bottom of the cover, unless someone previously threw it away. It’s simply a notched, flat, timing belt.
How much does a new Bobcat loader arm cost?
$3000 was a good buy. Check those loader arms good for cracks or signs of stress failure, make any repairs or mends as needed. Last I checked, a new set of bare loader arms is over 6 grand, and a good used loader arm frame is near impossible to find that ain’t damaged.
