[QUOTE="Dameon, post: 76485, member: 10703"] Being pretty much a novice Bobcat mechanic, I pulled my engine in less than an hour. Do what I did... take digital pictures of all the connections, wiring, etc., before pulling the engine. In fact, take two pictures of everything if you have an "unreliable" camera. Have a 5 gallon bucket to catch the coolant. No other fluids should escape (maybe a little diesel). I slid my engine straight out onto a hydraulic lift table, or you can just build a small stand from 2x4's. The lift table I have is on wheels, so that made it easy to roll away from the Bobcat to work in the engine bay. Drill some extra holes in the bottom of the fan shroud. Clean out all the crap you can while the engine is out. To put the engine back in, it took me about about the same as taking it out. The longest part was lining up the splined shaft and engine coupler. If you have a person with small hands, that's willing to risk getting pinched, that part will go much easier. [/QUOTE]
