[QUOTE="2slow05, post: 114211, member: 19765"] So i was pretty much given a bobcat 873 F series with the deutz motor in it. About 7-8 years ago it ran good but it got the notorious oil leak in the tank from a bad motor mouint and the machine was ran low or empty on oil. I am sure they tried to add oil to it and maybe try to restart the machine but it didnt so it got moved to the back pasture and was parked outside and has been sitting since. My question is where should i start with it or is it even worth the money it may take to get it going right? I have seen complete major overhaul engine rebuild kits in the $1500 price range. I would think that kit should get the motor running but since it has been sitting so long do you think it will have other major issues? Just looking for some advice thanks [/QUOTE]
