873 fuel tank removal

[dsmithson]

has anyone removed a fuel tank in a Bobcat 873, My engine and hydrostatic pump have been removed, whats the next step?

There should be an 873 book in the manual thread, that should have the steps involved and any possible gotchas to look out for.
Always a good idea to have a service manual anyway.

The manual is great, but not alot of info on this procedure, it may be easier that I've been told, I'm under the impression that the hydraulic Rams need to be unbolted and moved to get to the mounting bolts. On the exterior.

I've found the local Bobcat dealer techs are a great source of info. I do my best to keep a nice working relationship with them. ---Bobbie-G
