My machine is a 1996 Bobcat 751 C-series, with a Peugeot diesel engine. While pulling a log off my log pile , all of a sudden I heard a clunk in the right rear of the machine and ALL hydraulic functions stopped. No drive, no lift or tilt. Is it possible that the belt that runs from the engine to the hydraulic pump broke? Or am I looking at a more serious issue. Is this something I can fix myself. The machine is in an area totally inaccessible to getting a truck or trailer to it. So it will need to be fixed where it sits. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help Ron

I answered my own question. When I saw how easy it was to take off the belt drive cover, I went ahead and removed it after taking the battery out. Sure enough , the three belts were all broken. It looks like the hard part is going to get to the idler pulley adjusting nut. I think I am lucky that this was the problem.
