How to remove engine model 863

[racehorsewilly]

I'm wondering if anyone has seen a u-tube video of how to remove an engine of a Bobcat 863? I don't have any manuals. Before I take off unnecessary items, I'm hoping someone can give or show me some time saving pointers. thanks in Montana

Pull the engine and hydro as a combo. Four motor mount bolts, all hoses to the pump. Radiator hoses. Throttle cable. Pop the muffler off. Fan drive belt. Steering linkage. Engine wiring. Fuel lines. Those would be the main points

Thanks Bobcatdan, I've been away from my computer, but now ready to start. Its supposed to be 100 degrees today, and the machine is sitting in my field. I've tried to tow it before without any luck, but was wondering if there is a way to tow it. Be nice to be inside my shop. thanks again. racehorsewilly.

They don't tow. Pick it up with something bigger or drag it.
