Bobcat 743
I have a hydraulic leak that I've been told is servicable only by taking out the engine and replacing some oil lines. I've swapped auto engines and transmissions before but never on a diesel Bobcat. Can anyone point me to any reference material that might be out there or share any do's and don't you may have yourself learned when pulling a Bobcat engine? Thanks in advance. Greg.

Thanks so much! My email is bratvold@comcast.net
I've read on other sites that the engine removal is pretty simple. I might start to tear into it by middle of next week. Why are you taking your engine out?
Thanks again. Greg Bratvold. (Minneapolis,MN)

A bad leak. I thought it was the hose which has the nut between the bottom of the loader pump bay and what looks like a control valve. No way to get to it without pulling the motor and pump. Trying to send the file. It is a little too large. I will figure a way though.

Per sending a large attachment...............
Send me just a quick note without the attachment so at least I have your direct email.
My family and I have been using 'dropbox' for sharing large video files between family members. It's free and worth a look. >Greg.

Sorry for the typos. I corrected them in my original post.
