[QUOTE="KC743, post: 71613, member: 10199"] I installed a brand new radiator and cap, took the oil cooler to a radiator shop sealed and had them pressure test it and clean it. The two metal lines behind the fan shroud were disconnected in the past and replaced with rerouted soft lines to get back in service. I do have one small leak which happens to be near the back bottom behind shroud I am going to repair before engine goes back in for easy access! :) I am eager to see if there is a large difference between the v1702 and the upgraded hp v2203. They will be running the same rpm so I don't feel it will have any effect on the hydro pump and system, maybe just a little more grunt when digging? I read many other forums about the switch and have seen nothing negative. I removed the thermostat after discussing with other users of the same engine as well as contacting bobcat. Just an extra measure to ensure it stays cool. Fresh hydro fluid, filter, battery, belt, alternator, new starter, and all new sensors. Hoping it becomes a reliable machine again. Is there another filter in the hydro pump I should look at? I changed the large canister filter but read there may be a smaller on inline somewhere on the pump? In the service manual it also says there are locking tabs for the bolts, are they necessary as neither flywheel had them? [/QUOTE]
