Hi everyone,

Somewhat mechanically inclined. Picked up a compact bobcat 463 with bucket, forks and utility forks as part of a work trade. Inevitably have become intimate with this machine.

3 cylinder 722 Kubota engine. Im sure I’ll have questions; in fact I have a few that I’ll post up in the relevant locations.

I have pulled the cylinder head (bad compression single cylinder-resolved issue)
Replaced alternator belt
Pulled hydraulic cooler and radiator for maintenance and cleaning
Intending to change all fluids

Getting excited to get this thing going again.
