I bought a project bobcat 743. The engine was removed and completely disassembled. My question is about the engine oil pump install. Is there supposed to be a gasket between the oil pump halves? I see that there is one between the pump and block, but cant tell in the service manual if gasket between the pump halves. Another question . The engine gasket set comes with 3 different front cover gear case gaskets. There is no signs of old gasket to compare to. How do I know which front cover gasket to use?

there I would think be a block#( engine ID plate) somewhere on the engine ,you should with some searching be able to know what year and series it is. And go from there.

the 1702 is the displacement of the engine and is correct for that skid steer
From memory, there were no gaskets between the parts of the pump, only to the block.
If there was a gasket, the rotating pump parts will make contact with the gasket and bind up.
