I need some help with my bobcat 743 with Kubota diesel. While working the machine pretty hard this last few days, a belt started squealing. This was coupled with loss of power. I pulled the belt shield and found that the gear I am pointing at with an arrow is not turning. The belt was going over this fear but the gear itself would not turn causing friction, squealing, and heat/smoking where it rubs.
Is this supposed to turn?
Is this the water pump?
My belt looks to be in good shape.
I do have the service manual - would the repair be replacing the water pump?
If so, how hard of a job is this?
Thanks
