Are Bobcat 753 Parts Still Available? - PartsOnline

Yes, Bobcat 753 parts are still available. Even though the 753 was discontinued in 2002, aftermarket suppliers continue to stock common replacement parts including door glass (6729776), filters, seals, and hydraulic components. The 753's long production run from 1990 to 2002 means parts remain in demand and widely available through aftermarket channels.

What You Need to Know

  • Production years: 1990 to 2002
  • Engine: Kubota diesel (various models by production year)
  • Common replacements: Door glass, seals, filters, bushings, pins
  • Parts availability: Aftermarket parts widely available
  • Key identifier: Serial number determines exact part fitment

What Years Was the Bobcat 753 Produced?

The Bobcat 753 was manufactured from 1990 through 2002, making it one of the longer production runs in Bobcat's skid steer lineup. According to Bobcat's historical documentation, the 753 went through several updates during its production life, with parts varying by serial number range.

  • Early production (1990-1994): Initial design with earlier Kubota engine configurations
  • Mid production (1995-1998): Updated hydraulic systems and operator controls
  • Late production (1999-2002): Final refinements before discontinuation

The 753 was eventually replaced by newer models in Bobcat's lineup, but its long production run means hundreds of thousands of units remain in service today. This sustained demand keeps the aftermarket parts supply strong.

What Are the Most Common Bobcat 753 Parts That Need Replacement?

Based on our catalog data, the most frequently ordered Bobcat 753 parts fall into predictable categories. Wear items and components exposed to the elements tend to need replacement first.

  • Door glass: The curved design (part 6729776) is prone to cracking from debris impact
  • Seals and gaskets: Hydraulic cylinder seals wear over time, causing leaks
  • Air filters: Engine and hydraulic air filters require regular replacement
  • Fuel filters: Preventive maintenance item replaced at service intervals
  • Bushings and pins: Pivot points wear, causing play in the loader arms
  • Wiper blades and arms: Rubber deteriorates, arms can bend or corrode
  • Ignition keys: Lost or worn keys are a common replacement

Our parts specialists frequently recommend keeping commonly needed seals and filters on hand for machines that see heavy daily use.

Which Door Glass Fits the Bobcat 753?

The Bobcat 753 uses curved door glass, which distinguishes it from the flat glass used on newer M-series skid steers. The OEM part number for 753 door glass is 6729776. This curved design was standard on legacy Bobcat skid steers before the introduction of pressurized cabs.

Part OEM Number Notes
Door Glass (Curved) 6729776 Standard on all 753 production years
Wiper Arm 7188371 Legacy style
Wiper Blade 7188372 Fits legacy wiper arm

When ordering door glass, verify your serial number to confirm compatibility. The curved 753 glass does not interchange with the flat door glass (7120401) used on S-series and T-series machines with pressurized cabs.

What Filters Does the Bobcat 753 Use?

The Bobcat 753 requires several filters as part of its regular maintenance schedule. According to Bobcat's service recommendations, filters should be inspected and replaced at specific hour intervals to maintain engine and hydraulic system performance.

  • Engine air filter: Replace every 250 hours or when restricted
  • Engine oil filter: Replace at each oil change (every 250 hours)
  • Fuel filter: Replace every 500 hours
  • Hydraulic oil filter: Replace every 500 hours
  • Hydraulic case drain filter: Replace every 1000 hours

Filter part numbers vary by serial number range due to engine changes during the 753's production run. Always verify your serial number when ordering filters to ensure correct fitment.

How Do I Find Parts for My Bobcat 753 Serial Number Range?

Serial number ranges are critical for ordering correct Bobcat 753 parts. The OEM parts catalog organizes components by serial number breaks because parts changed as Bobcat updated the 753 design throughout its production run.

To find your serial number:

  1. Check the serial number plate inside the cab, typically on the right side frame
  2. Look for a metal plate on the frame near the engine compartment
  3. Reference your original purchase documentation

Once you have the serial number, you can verify which parts fit your specific machine. For example, a 753 with serial number 15000 may use different hydraulic seals than one with serial number 25000. Contact Parts Online at sales@partsonline.com with your serial number for fitment verification on any part.

What Seals and Gaskets Are Available for the 753?

Seal kits are among the most commonly ordered Bobcat 753 parts. Hydraulic cylinder seals wear over time, especially on machines with high hours or heavy use. When seals fail, you will notice hydraulic fluid leaks, reduced lifting power, or slow cylinder response.

Common seal applications for the 753 include:

  • Lift cylinder seal kits: For the main boom cylinders
  • Tilt cylinder seal kits: For the bucket tilt function
  • Drive motor seals: For the hydrostatic drive system
  • Control valve seals: For the main hydraulic control valve
  • Door seal: Keeps dust and weather out of the cab

When replacing cylinder seals, many technicians recommend replacing all seals in the affected cylinder at once. This prevents a second repair when adjacent seals fail shortly after.

Are Bobcat 753 Parts Interchangeable with Other Models?

Some Bobcat 753 parts interchange with other legacy skid steer models from the same era. However, interchangeability is not universal and depends on the specific component.

Part Type May Interchange With Notes
Door Glass 763, 773, 7753 Same curved design on legacy models
Ignition Keys Most Bobcat models Standard Bobcat key pattern
Some Filters Models with same engine Verify engine model first
Hydraulic Seals Limited Cylinder dimensions vary by model

 

The 753 shares the most parts with its siblings in the 700 series, particularly the 763 (similar size) and 773 (larger capacity). Always verify part numbers before assuming interchangeability, as subtle differences can affect fit and function.

What Hydraulic Parts Are Common Replacements on the 753?

The hydraulic system on the Bobcat 753 handles all loader functions and drives the machine. Components in this system experience significant wear, especially on machines used for demanding applications.

Common hydraulic replacement parts include:

  • Hydraulic hoses: Flex points wear and eventually leak or burst
  • Hydraulic pump: Main pump provides flow to all functions
  • Drive motors: Power the tracks or wheels (hydrostatic drive)
  • Control valve: Directs hydraulic flow to cylinders
  • Hydraulic filter: Keeps the system clean (replace every 500 hours)
  • Hydraulic tank cap: Breather cap prevents contamination

When diagnosing hydraulic issues on a 753, check the simple things first. Low hydraulic oil level, a clogged filter, or a loose hose connection can mimic more serious problems.

How Do I Identify the Right Bobcat 753 Part Number?

Finding the correct part number for your Bobcat 753 requires either the OEM number (if you have it) or your machine's serial number for catalog lookup.

Methods for identifying the correct part:

  1. Check the old part: OEM numbers are often stamped or printed on the original component
  2. Use serial number lookup: Navigate to the Bobcat 753 parts collection and browse by category
  3. Cross-reference: Aftermarket listings show which OEM numbers they replace
  4. Contact support: Email sales@partsonline.com with your serial number and part description

Aftermarket parts catalogs display OEM cross-reference numbers to help you match the correct replacement. When the original part number has been superseded by Bobcat, the catalog should indicate the current replacement number.

Where Can I Buy Aftermarket Bobcat 753 Parts?

Aftermarket Bobcat 753 parts are available through various channels. Quality aftermarket parts meet or exceed OEM specifications while typically costing less than dealer parts.

When choosing an aftermarket supplier, consider:

  • Cross-reference accuracy: Parts should list which OEM numbers they replace
  • Fitment verification: Supplier should be able to confirm compatibility
  • Return policy: Protection if a part does not fit as expected
  • Technical support: Access to help identifying correct parts

Parts Online carries a comprehensive selection of Bobcat 753 parts including door glass, seals, filters, and hydraulic components. All listings include OEM cross-reference numbers and fitment notes.
