just arrived to a completely dead bobcat, no lights or anything could this be a symptom of dead starter?

More likely to be a bad battery cable, corroded connection or even a bad battery.
Check battery voltage
Load test battery after charging
Clean all battery cable connections(both ends)
Clean all ground wire connections
Check for high resistance in battery cables(internal corrosion)

I'd doubt it, more like a battery or cable. I'd try jumping the starter, if it kicks, it's a wiring issue to the dash, if not, starter or battery/wiring.

worked fine the last few days tapping the starter. today nothing at althe starter was arching when starting the last few days. if I left the key on would that kill the batteryin a day?

I'd check that the battery is ok, leaving the ignition on can drain the battery, but this model didn't have a fuel shu off solenoid that i'm aware of, if it did, i can see it draining.

no fuel shut off, i have to do it manually. like i said when trying to start the last week or so the starter was arcing like a bastard. i think it's the starter. the positive battery terminal goes right to the starter.

I'm not sure where you live, but there is a auto electric service locally that will rebuild a starter the same day if you can get it in first thing in the morning. I had the starter rebuilt on my previous bobcat for around $60. Even if it took a few days if the place was real busy its still a cheaper/faster route that ordering and waiting for shipping. I was impressed when walked in and set the starter on the counter. The guy looked at the starter and said: "642 bobcat". I said, "you have been working here way too long".

thanks for the responses guys. i ended up buying this one...at 100 bucks it was a steal. my bobcat starts SO much stronger and quicker now than it has since i have owned it. the new starter is also far quieter. it sounds like a new machine when it starts up.
