[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 1524, member: 82"] Too expensive. [URL]http://cgi.ebay.com/BOBCAT-843-843B-SKID-LOADER-STEER-SERVICE-MANUAL_W0QQitemZ7552354345QQcategoryZ48714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem[/URL] I have dealt with this guy before, he is a pleasue to deal with. Give him the serial number so you get the rite manual, he knows his stuff. I would advise getting the parts manual too, VERY handy when you need to order parts off bobcat. The wiring diagrams aren't all that flash in these manuals (these are all GOOD copies of OEM bobcat manuals). They are a little hard to follow as the wiring diagrams are not in colour. If there are wires going to bits hanging out of the head, these are glow plugs. You may need to hook up a seperate switch to turn the plugs on. A simple push button switch on the panel with the key would work well. Run it back to the relay in the engine bay. One thing you may try, hook up a heavy gauge wire to the glow plug rail, get some one to sit inside the bobcat ready to start it. Connect the wire to the +ve terminal, hold it there for about 30 seconds (the wire may get a little warm, this is normal), Then get the person to start it. It should fire up quite easily. If not, glow it for another 30 or so seconds. If it is still hard to start, your plugs may be bad. [/QUOTE]
