Yes Sir

I always heard hard work never hurt anyone but I strongly disagree.Looking around at my age I see people who have always had it easy still getting around pretty good while I can't hardly get out of bed in the morning.I always thought in retirement I would be able to do what I wanted to do for a change but my body keeps fighting me.

So do it now, don't wait.  8)

Bodies are not created equally, and I don't do at 83 what I could easily do 20 years ago.

Your right! Just like Forest Gump said "life is like a box of chocolates,you never know what you will get.

I finally have Big Bob's fuel system sorted out and running good.
Next the hydraulic leak , power wash the rad and put a new valve cover gasket on.

I have always heard pretty good things about bobcat.
Sounds like you are gaining ground fast Bruno. Keep at it my friend.
Hard work never hurt anyone?
I beg to differ. at my advanced age I have wrecked both shoulders, had a hip replaced twice, MAKOplasties on both knees, and a bunch of other sort of minor orthopedic surgeries.
All as a result of working hard (but maybe not smart)
I can still work pretty hard for a half day then comes a cold beer, lunch and a nap in my recliner.
Bruno I admire your pluck keeping at it.

What did the issue end up being with the fuel system, Bruno?

[Bruno of NH]

Rebuilt the lift pump
Some new lines
Rebuilt injection pump
The last hard thing was a stripped bolt on the filter housing.
My hired help that runs it , is barred from working on it . He thinks he's helping me , but strips or breaks something every time he touches it.
He means we'll but lacks the mechanical touch.

Hi Bruno.
Well, on my crane's perkins (4.236t) I replaced the lift pump, by an electric one. Facet square body type. It makes bleeding the fuel system far easier. HTH

So Bruno.  How's big bob faring lately? 

[Bruno of NH]

It been power washed sitting on blocks waiting on us to look for the hydraulic leak and put a new valve cover gasket on it.
Hopefully next week we can work on it.
I'm using a John deere wheel loader it's to big for the way my mill yard is laid out.

Good luck with the leak!

Looks how's back and has a new friend

It's a mustang 442 
It needs a skid steer quick coupler welded on and it will be used for the small logs .
It's in good shape
