[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 100122, member: 26"] My Bobcat manual for the Deutz engine in an 863 says replace the timing belt every 3000 hrs or 5 years. Presumably that means whichever interval comes first. I bought mine from the original owner, 12 years old and 900 hrs, and I don't think they ever had the belt changed. Since I understand this is an interference engine, a broken timing belt is not something I'm willing to risk by stretching out the recommended interval very much. I now have 800 hrs and 6 years on my belt, and I'm planning on changing it this winter myself. :-) ---Bobbie-G [/QUOTE]
