[QUOTE="DSTEVENS, post: 97132, member: 13824"] Thank you Hotrod1830, I have removed engine by itself, due to weight issue and no one to help me. Previous owner had torched a gap in end of engine to pump mounting plate, so crank pulley will slide through, so it took about 45 minutes for me to pull engine out. I am thinking about repowering instead of installing old Kohler back in, even though it runs good. All of pivot points on carb are worn, and I would solve exhaust issue, which I have yet to work out. So if I spent the money now and repowered, I would have no more issues with old things breaking or giving out. I will have a ridiculous amount invested in this machine when I am done, but I really like the little bugger. I will start on pulling pump assembly next week. I plan on taking it to a Hydraulic repair shop with Bobcat experience and get it looked at. I will replace any and all old hoses, and then pull loader valve block and have it done too. In removing things for the removal of powerplant I see lots of areas I can modify things for easier access. I used a hydraulic motorcycle table to slide engine onto, works excellent. roll table up to back of machine, remove door, jack table up to engine level and slide directly onto table top. simple. Thanks for the replies, I look forward to any comment or suggestion that will enlighten me on my first time repairs of the farmboy. I will update my progress as I venture on. Best wishes. D. [/QUOTE]
