[QUOTE="nobull1, post: 58051, member: 722"] Well I had a better look today and as I thought it was broken off in the cast piece that is bolted to the motor. There is very little room to do anything except with maybe a right angle drill. I went down the road to a buddy who owns a machine/Fab shop. He came up and figured he could build up the bolt and then weld a nut to it. So I asked when and he said it would be a week or so before he could come up to my place as he was very busy. He said if you could bring it down to the shop he could do it now. That was easy I said it will be at your shop in ten minutes :). Anyhow it wasn't quite that simple as the bolt would only turn a bit and then break the weld. So he had to use some different rods and finally it came out. Man that made my day as I figured it was going to be a motor removal. Just finished installing the spring and pulley and all appears well. The parts guy at Bobcat said he sells a few of those bolts due to them coming loose and breaking and said you should check it every so often. Mine was not loose just broken. [/QUOTE]
