I have a 1998 Bobcat 873, was working the other day took a lunch break went to start it back up and no luck. It acts like it's out of gas, bulb will not prime. I'm thinking I might have a broke fuel line. I need to know how to replace the fuel line. I have researched online a little but from what I've read it says to lift the cab, I do not know how to do this or even if you have to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.

At the front of the cab down low, there is one bolt per side. Remove the nuts and lift the cab. The pickup line is behind the drive pump. There are two there, so trace the line fron the primer bulb back. using pointy nose pliers, lever the gromet out and the pickup tube will come with it. You are better off buying a new gromet for putting it back in, the old ones can expand a little and can be tough to put back in, especially where its located.
