thank you, I had checked there but missed it. then I decided to start there and check every inch of wire to the end.

it turns out that the red and white wire going to the gauges was melted to an orang wire and shorting out. all is good now lol.

there are two wires that run from this fuse to the gauge cluster on the upper right corner of the machine. the yellow with brown strip goes to the hour meter, I disconnected the hour meter and no change. the other red and white striped wire goes to the other gauges if this fuse blows, the...

one other quick question, what size fuse is suppose to go in there? I also unhooked the hour gauge and tried it, no difference, so it isn't that.

I finally got some time to work on it. right now I can pre heat for 60 seconds with no problem, turn key on to activate gauges with no apparent problem. but when I start cranking over the motor the fuse blows in about five seconds. I have looked and checked everywhere for shorts. any ideas???

after fixing the u-joint problem between the motor and the pump, I have a fuse that keeps blowing instantly. I have checked for a short somewhere and have double checked that all electrical was put back where it came from during the u-joint fix. this fuse works with the three gauges on the right...

thank you everyone for your help. now to post a new problem that developed after fixing this one. it will be named 743 fuse keeps blowing.

well it worked out great, I sat the engine back in and had the wife reach in from the front of the machine and hold the ujoint assembly up while I pushed the engine in until the ujoint was against the spline shaft. then I turned the crank shaft with a vise grip until the wife felt the splined...

the first pick above is what your referring too. under the u-joint you see is the part that slides over the splines on the pump shaft. I picked up the part today, 250 bucks for the u-joint assembly. I also picked up new filters and fluids. I hope your wrong about that two man job part lol. all I...

from what I'm seeing, the u-joint system bolts to the engine and then you slide the whole thing onto the spline shaft of the hydraulic pump.

yep I pulled it off the splines, and it looks great to me, straight as an arrow, no signs of being bent.

HanSolo, should i be able to grab ahold of the remaining part on the bobcat and pull it off? I'm thinking it must be on a spline like a transmission!

good to hear, i need to buy the socket that takes those bolts out.

lets try this pic thing again lol.

it looks like all the pics are in the album, but you have to use slide show to see them all
