[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 23767, member: 307"] I have never worked on a 873, and it the only bobcat with the Deutz. (Correction 863 has Deutz too) But in my experience it is often necessary to remove parts to gain room to access. The starter and hoses should not be too hard to remove. Get room for access so you can do a good job on the exhaust. Also that motor should have a new timing belt at something like 2000 hours, (you have some time yet) but with the years on the engine you may want to inspect it, because a failed timing belt will allow your valves to come in contact with the pistons, bending pushrods or pehaps valves, which would require a head rebuild. Just incase you have not heard. Ken [/QUOTE]
