Thanks, I have the sump off the v1702 that I am going to put on , but trying to get the throttle set up right and crank it before removing the engine out of the light plant.

Tazza thanks for the help on changing the hydraulic seal. My next question on the engine swap is how to make the v2203 out of a light plant that is constant speed 1800 RPM to variable speed to have enough RPM"s for the skid steer. The governor arm in the v1702 has a slotted opening for the...

Thanks for the info fellows, I talked with the seller and he advised that during the 20 years of ownership he did change engines because he could never get the Deutz to run right and claimed it never had any power. If I make the purchase I have a like new 3 cylinder Kubota DF972-E2 that is 32.5...

Hi new to the forum, retiring soon and want to get a bobcat for project I have not owned one in years. I found and old 731 that can be bought cheap as far as skid steers are concerned. If memory serves me well I thought 731's all had 2 cylinder air cooled diesel, but the 1 I found has 4 cylinder...
