No the engine is in the same exact spot as it was when it came from the factory. I believe it is in the Hydraulic system some where. Maybe from sitting for over a year a valve maybe stuck or some other problem. I hate taking it to a bobcat dealer as they charge 5 to 8 times more than a fair price.

I have a 943 Bobcat with a 4.236 Perkins Diesel engine. The alternator belt came loose on the previous owner and the water pump did not spin causing the engine to over heat. The engine was toast when I bought the bobcat. At the time the engine went out everything was working fine. We pulled the...

found several things out today. A ford fiesta electronic distributor will not work without the control module and a wiring diagram to set it all up. O'Rilies autoparts has an igniter kit for 164.00 that turns your points distributor to an electronic distributor. I had the condenser lead grounded...

did you ever figure this out? I too have a 632 and a desire to upgrade the distributor to an electronic one.

Update to the Distributor I now have. Today I attempted to start the bobcat and the wire from the positive to the distributor smoked and got red hot. Is there any one out there that can tell me what year and model car electronic distributor would fit this 632 ford industrial gas engine?

For 29.99 I bought a New solenoid and installed it on the starter and it works perfect. Now on to other problems to fix.

I used the same battery and cables to bench test it, and then install it in the machine and then test it with exact same battery and cables. it runs away when installed but not on the bench. must be the load making the solenoid stick. Thank You for your help, I'll install a new solenoid and get...

I have a bobcat 632 with the ford industrial gas motor in it. I purchased a Bosch 16405 starter for it. I bench tested the starter by connecting a negative battery cable to a ground clamp on the front bolt mounting hole. I then placed the positive on the positive pole of the starter with the...

Here are more part numbers for you 632 owners to write down when needing a fuel pump for the Ford Gasoline 4-98 engine. GENERAL MOTORS OE 7990448 , and Airtex 1002 mechanical pump.

Thank You! it is a Carter pump and a common one at that. I found a NEW one on Ebay for 31.95 to the door. About half of what napa wanted. Thank You for the Part number.

do you still have the part number?

I have an early bobcat 632 with the ford industrial gas 4-98 engine. I looked in the book and the fuel shut off solenoid is suppost to be on the back of the up-draft carb. I reached behind the carb and felt a bolt/plug where the solenoid is suppost to be. is this something from the factory or...

Mallory marine dist for what? do you have a part number? I can figure out the wiring! are we talking about an electronic distributor?

I can walk accross the street and buy a 1980 ford fiesta fuel pump for 35.00 out the door with a 1 year warrantee. Or drive over 20 miles to the bobcat dealer and pay 75.00 and get less of a warantee. from the photos I see online they look like a match, but I was hoping some one that has been...

does any one know if a 1971-1972 pinto 1.6 fuel pump, or a 1980 ford fiesta 1.6L fuel pump will fit on the Bobcat ford industrial 4-98 gas 632 engine?
