1996 873 injector pump leak

[kevin aarhus]

I have a 1996 bobcat 873 that is leaking around the top cover plate that the injector is threaded into.....I loosened up the 2 bolts and noticed a shim that is installed. Is the shim causing the leak? When running it is a steady leak....I assume there was a gasket between that cover but the only thing I see is the shim....any input would be great!

I assume you are talking about the injector pump?
Take a look at the parts catalog:

Bobcat Parts Catalog - Find Diagrams for Your Equipment - Bobcat Company

Locate all parts and component information about your Bobcat equipment with detailed visual diagrams and illustrations with parts numbers and add to your list.

www.bobcatpartsonline.com

Enter your serial number and then search "injector". You should be able to see any gasket that you may be missing.

The gasket and shims seem to be in the schematic all listed as number 22. The gasket part number is 6688309.

Thank you that is what I was looking for....my sn# is 514111228 which looks like shim/gasket is #3....I will have to stop at bobcat and see if I can get the shim...I've read where the pump timing can get messed up when removing this....wonder if I will need the bobcat dealer to install.
