[lawnboy83]

I have a Bobcat 873 that dies everytime its not level. Loading and unloading from trailer. This is getting to be aggravating I changed every filter today hoping that might fix it but still does the same thing. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fuel pick up tube is broken or cracked in tank.:thumbsup:

How big of a job is that to replace?

Fish it out with a wire and stick a new one on.

fuel pickup and fuel return hoses go into top of the tank somewhere between the engine and hydrostatic pump (actual location was moved a couple times throughout production of this model due to design changes). Usually it is tuck up close to pump. The barbed fitting going into the tank passes through an expandable rubber bushing. To Remove; pull up and twist the bushing. It will pull out. Use a new bushing when you reinstall. If the pickup tube is hard straight plastic type most dealers replace it with hose about 1.5 - 2 times longer than original tube and install p/n 6650239 brass fuel screen on end of hose.

Check the oil level. Might have a low oil shutoff.
