I may be a cattle genius :) , but I am not a mechanical one. My Bobcat 731 quit on me yesterday and I think that I have air in the lines or ice in the filter. Does any body know if there is a handpump to work the air out with? Or just tell me what to do to get the air out? Thanks.

KMac, my guess is ice in the filter. Change the filter and if there is a drain on the fuel tank, drain out a gallon or so.
I can't help with the air bleed process on this machine.
 
Bobcat has a bleed screw near the filter. You have to crack it, crank crank crank and retighten. Depending on what model I can't tell you exactly where. Call any dealership and they can tell you where it is based on model.
 
Thanks: I changed the filter and bled the injectors and Eureka, It runs. I was lulled into complacency by the warm weather and forgot to put the fuel conditioner in. It got cold this weekend. Thanks again.
