[QUOTE="jorswift, post: 134699, member: 24860"] So just picked up a Bobcat 873 G-series. First SS and first Bobcat. I have noticed some oil leaking and fuel leaking. Fuel - The return lines are leaking. Also, the fuel gauge shows empty and the fuel light is on, so I went to fill it up and fuel spilled out all over from the overflow as I guess it was full already. Any other ways to check the fuel level? I plan on changing out the return lines with new braided line. Oil- I can see oil leaking from behind the fuel lift pump, so I will probably go ahead and change out the lift pump and new o-ring. The machine is very dirty behind the door, so I am guessing there may be more leaks, but hard to tell at this time. I plan on changing the fuel lift pump-o-ring, alternator belt, soft fuel lines, and fuel shut off solenoid. I know I probably need to change the timing belt as well (wish I could "rent") the kit. Any other words of wisdom/advise before digging into this beast? I am hoping I do not need to remove the motor (fingers crossed)! [/QUOTE]
