Looking for info on older Bobcat mower

[Inspector507]

I'm possibly going to an auction soon that has a Bobcat Zero turn mower. All I know is it's an orange color, has a steering wheel not levers and has a front mount 72" deck. I'll try to attach a pic. I'm looking to find out what engine. I assume it's gas. How well do they hold up if taken care of?

I might be mistaken, but I think the bobcat, might have been a sister to woods and maybe grasshopper. I was searching and that unit is not very common. Anyway, wish I could help more.
Good Luck, Dave

I looked on Bob-Cat's parts site and could not find anything except a 3-wheel model that looked close with a single steering wheel. I couldn't find any mower on their site with larger than 61" deck.

In the parts catalog, I found a lot with 72" decks, but all were with two levers and hydro steering.

That deck has a 74" cut not 72'' the tractor model is Bobcat Ransomes t18b the deck model is Bobcat Ransomes fm-74s
PS: I have a t18b with a fm-61s (61") I want a fm-74s (74") for it.

I have a Bobcat T18B. Trying to find a manual or info on how to remove the drive pulley that is attached to the Fly Wheel. The motor is a 18 HP B&S Horizontal.
