Hello everyone, My name is Race. I recently purchased a used 743B near the end of winter to deal with snow removal, ect. I will be using this machine to cleanup my rock driveway and general use around the house. I only have a 66in smooth bucket with a replaceable cutting edge. My new to me machine has ~3200 hours. Last few times I have ran the machine, when I cut the key off the machine did not cut off, it kept running for a longer delay than normal before shutting down. Yesterday I had to cut the key on and off 3 times before it shut off. Also, It has been hard to start recently, like it isn't getting any fuel, because it cranks and cranks with no white smoke. I think I had narrowed it down from reading, that it might be a fuel shutoff solenoid issue, but not sure how to check it on the V1702 kubuto. I do not have a service manual for the 743B. I am not sure where to being, the only thing I have done it greased the machine good. I plan on changing the fluids soon, because in the winter (0 degree F days) the hydraulic system was noisy and not in warmer weather it is noisy until it warms up. I am thinking I should replace that with 10-30W motor oil? I also am planning on adding a tank heater to aid in winter starting, with a cab heater. Thanks for your help in advance.
