Item Description: 1998 Bobcat 863 wheel machine available.

First the bad:
  • Engine needs work (probably a new one)
  • It's been beat up it's entire life
  • It's got wheels, not tracks
  • Seat is rotted out
  • Aux. hydraulics may or may not work
  • leaks oil
  • missing some panels
Now the Good:
  • Hydraulics are awesome, very strong (when you can get the machine running)
  • Several new hoses
  • 1year old battery
  • Tires are airless
OK, I admit it. I got too excited about owning my first bobcat and got one that needs more than I am capable of doing to it. After getting it, I realized that it was not what I needed anyway. A tractor or track machine would be much better for my needs.

Will sell as is for $4500.
Will sell with 14,000lb trailer to haul it on for $6,000.
Would like to trade for a 4wd tractor.

I will load pics (maybe tonight) as soon as I can.

Does it run, move etc?

The last time I tried to start it I used a whole can of ether to get it going. The smoke screen was intense and it had to be kept near full throttle to keep it going.

While it was running I used it to move about 30 scoops of mulch around. That was three last time I've messed with it.
