[QUOTE="Micheal, post: 142746, member: 23117"] Wow, that’s quite a full question. First I wasn’t in a hurry, I worked on it nights and weekends. Yes I did have to wait on parts and then the right parts. You didn’t know if you ordered the right one or not until it arrived. And I did research the best I could to get the right one. I bought as much as I could on Amazon and eBay. I looked around to get the best price I could. I did buy a rebuilder kit that came with cylinder sleeves, Pistons, rings, bearings and gaskets. I didn’t keep track of my hours, but I did keep track of the cost. I bought the bobcat for $2500 not running and right now I have about 8 to 9 thousand in it including the $2500. Do I think you could rebuild the motor in a weekend? Only if everything fell in place perfectly, which I see as an impossibility. There is always something that you didn’t see, and it throws a kink in the process, but in view of all that, it was a great experience. And now I get to play with it. There’s still more stuff to do to it, and I’ll do it when I’m ready I guess. Though I would love to be a part of that rebuild. [/QUOTE]
