Can anyone email me a service manual for a 743 because I have one that has been all messed up with wiring undone and wont start but will crank just fine and has a broken off glow plug in the front cylinder. I would greatly appreciate one and dont have the $$$ for one from bobcat disabled vet. So if anyone has one please let me know or email it to me. I have never been on a forum before so if I am not doing this right let me know please. Thanks

Also I cant find a dipstick to check hydraulic fluid on the machine there are two wingnuts on the side of the hydraulic tank where I think there may have been one but someone removed it for some reason. How do I know how much hydraulic fluid to put in it and is there any way to check it regularly.

Does it put out white smoke when you try to start it?

There is also no wire going to the back glow plug like I think there is suppose to be and the front one is broke off in the block do you have any idea how I can rig it up to still work? Also if the engine cranks but just doesn't turn over is there a good chance I can get it running without having to replace engine? Sorry for all the questions but I need help desperately and really appreciate any help I can get!

I just bought it and it didnt put out any smoke when it was being cranked by the person I bought it from. They had some things apart and I am trying to put it back together and replace the glow plugs and anything I can do to see if I can get it running. They were cranking it with some type of jumper from the battery to the starter I think with a push button.
