Will need to drain the radiator to replace the pump. Not familiar with the bobcat. I did my John Deere last year. Radiator had to be removed to gain access. Once it was out of the way there was "plenty" of room to work. Definitely look over the area and anything you can get to now that looks over ten years old or questionable condition, now is the time to take care of it. I blew a bucket hose and after looking at them they were all original to 2007. I decided to replace them all while it was down and most were soon to follow. Hopefully I can get another 17 years out of these. I've been chasing emergency repairs on it ever since I bought it. I am happy to say now I am caught up and focusing on preventative maintenance. It is a good feeling. So anything you have the time and money to repair/replace while you have access will be money well spent in the long run.</blockquote>
