if you are using a electrical gauge put in a temporary mechanical one to verify your readings . What are your readings? I have a 2005 dong feng 204a and when at operating temps at a idle it runs around 22 lbs. Running at speed I do see some small surges in pressure which is over the 60 psi it runs at . I replaced the original metric gauge with sae.
I would suggest that if the parts are now gone replace the sediment bowl filter with another one . There are plenty of styles out there in the after market world, get one with a large clear glass bowl it will make seeing the contents(or lack thereof) easier. Filtration is a thing that is so important. and the diesel bug thing is real but they also need water to live so controlling moisture is a way to control them, there are chemical treatments also.
one thing you should think of is that the problems might not be related a engine that burns oil can run out of fuel ,be refueled and keep going. If it sat for a long period fuel might be all it is, like mentioned check the fuel bowl when you have the lower cover off put a can under it turn on the fuel make sure there is a good flow if not there might be a fuel screen in the tank valve nipple. You might want to check the engine oil and make sure it does not smell like diesel. But I do not like the idea of it not briefly running on starting fuel. Lets hope for the best.
make sure that there is a good flow of fuel coming from the tank to the lift pump, a restricted gravity system ,(which I am sure you have) might have symptoms like what you describe.
yes you said it is a 610 series skid steer but when I looked them up they ran a 4 cylinder Wisconsin . I have a 2 cylinder Wisconsin with no references in the history at Bobcat about that engine. All the fuel and hydro. pump attachments look like factory , like it is a original engine. Maybe it will have the same model # even though the engine is not covered . We shall see when I get the serial #. Then find out what the real model # is. Glad it was just a alt. bearing. Things that make you shake your head , I have a 2008 ford ranger with a 2.3 the daughter has a 2008 ford fusion with a 2.3 mine has spark plugs hers has permeant electronic ignitors. oil filters are different too. remember when if you had a same year and displacement 99% of the time they were the same, things were simpler then. yeah dash out not fun.
also I got the skid steer working so I got about 1500 in it , I guess it worked out picking it up with the only cost was fuel to go get it. when it warms up will pressure clean it so I can find the serial # so I can figure out what model it is.
If you determine that the fuel bowl seal is a problem, I would buy a new after market one. Chances are it will be better made. They come in several styles. The one on my foton had a plastic bowl which is difficult to see thru , I changed it to a ford clone with a glass bowl works great.
make damn sure that your in neutral when jumping , my 2006 foton ft504a just last year I needed to relocate the ground from the batt. somehow there got a resistance between the batt. box hardware where the ground was to the engine. so I relocated the ground to the engine block. Took care of problem with low cranking speed and or nothing happening when attempted starting.
