gine as follows (Fig. 12):
A. Remove traction belt from the engine flywheel
and hydrostat pulleys.
B. Remove five cap screws, washers, and spacers
securing the pump mount plate to the engine.
C. Remove two cap screws and flange nuts secur-
ing the pump support to the engine mount bracket
and remove the hydrostat and pump assembly from

Installation (Fig. 8)
1. If removed, install engine mounts, front engine
mounting bracket, throttle support bracket and left en-
gine mounting bracket. Also, make sure that all switches
and sensors are installed on engine.
2. Install hydrostat and pump assembly to the engine
as follows (Fig. 12):
A. Secure the pump support to the engine mount
bracket with two flange nuts and cap screws.
B. Secure pump mount plate to the engine with five
spacers, washers, and cap screws.
C. Install traction belt to the engine flywheel and hy-
drostat pulleys.
3. Connect hoist or lift to the front and rear engine lift
tabs (Fig. 10).
CAUTION
One person should operate lift or hoist while the
other person guides the engine into the machine.

parts while installing the engine.
4. Position engine slowly into the machine.
5. Secure all three engine mounts to the engine mount-
ing brackets with cap screws, washers, and hex nuts.
6. Secure wire harness to the front lift tab and the en-
gine with cable ties.
7. Install all hydraulic hoses to the piston and gear
pumps. Install traction control cable to the neutral arm
assembly on the piston pump (see Piston Pump Installa-
tion in Chapter 4− Hydraulic System).
8. Connect fuel hose to the fuel pump (Fig. 9) and front
injector nozzle.
9. Install top fan shroud to the radiator. Install expan-
sion tank and bracket to the top fan shroud (see Radiator
Installation in this Chapter).
10.Connect wire harness and electrical wires to the fol-
lowing:
A. Engine grounds to the battery and wire harness
(Fig. 9).
B. Glow plug bus (Fig. 10) and fuel stop solenoid.
C. Engine temperature sensor, alternator, and low
oil pressure switch (Fig. 11).
11.Secure wire harness to engine with cable ties at loca-
tions noted during engine removal.
12.Connect coolant hoses to the water pump and en-
gine block. Make sure drain cock valve is closed. Fill ra-
diator with coolant.
13.Install muffler to the exhaust manifold and muffler
bracket (see Muffler Installation in this Chapter).
14.Connect throttle cable to the support and swivel on

15.Connect both battery cables at the battery (see Bat-
tery Service in Chapter 6 − Electrical system).
16.Install air cleaner to the engine. Connect air hose to
air cleaner and radiator.
17.Adjust throttle cable.
18.Bleed air from the fuel system.
19.Install engine hood to the machine. Close and latch
