So I noticed that i am getting hydraulic oil pooling up underneath the main belt at the motor. Looks like it must be coming from the input to the hydrostatic pump and running down toward the motor. Its not a terrible leak, but definitely leaking. From what i have read the motor has to come out...

I just replaced my fuel sender (I ended up using a large basin wrench to get to it, its really tough to get to...). My gauge was not working. Before i took the old on out, i hooked up the new one outside of the tank, and it was working properly as i would slide the float up and down. Now that i...

In addition to the above question does anyone know where i can find a 8-10" bucket for a bradco 408 backhoe?

Hello all. So i have a 753, and i also have bradco 408 backhoe. I don't really know the history, but i think the backhoe was originally on a case skidsteer and i have the bracket that went on the case. I am hoping i can modify it to fit the 753, but was hoping maybe someone had some pictures of...

Thanks for the reply! I did take the connector loose and shorted the signal to ground and the gauge does move so was thinking it was the sending unit. Gauge looks oem so hoping i can get away with just the sender. Doesn't look like its going to be easy to get it in an out though....

Okay, all fixed, pretty simple! Now i have to figure out the fuel gauge not working, and replace the cab gas springs and i hope thats it for a while.

Found this, looks like exactly what i need to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CynD_XTTtPw

Thanks for the reply. I did find this thread, looks like a few people have fixed on their own. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/kubota-v2203-injector-pump-problem.17933/ I have read fuel delivery can be affected, is this true or should it be safe to replace the orings mentioned...

Hello all. I just purchased a bobcat 753, and I have found a few issues (i hope minor) that i need to repair. First is that there is a fuel leak when running. I have attached a picture, it appears to be leaking under the small blocks with the torx screws on them. Any thoughts on what i will...

Awesome, thanks for the info Hotrod, much appreciated. Hopefully ill have this thing running soon.

Thanks for the info Hotrod! So are you saying the fiesta distributor will work then? What else would i need to do to convert to electronic ignition? Thanks again!

Sorry, i keep making new posts, just lots of questions :). I have no plans of taking the ford motor out of the 742 i just bought, but I am just curious in case i ever need to do a rebuild in the future. I have heard the 742 is identical to the 743 just a gas motor. If that is true, will the...

After some more research, looks like the 71,72,73 pinto or the 77,78,79 fiesta imports share the same motor. Some say the pinto, others the fiesta.

Well, i dont actually have the machine with me at the moment, since it did not run i decided to have it taken to my mechanic since he could unload it and keep it in his shop. He said that the distributor had a bad bushing in it and would be tough to repair. I have found a few threads that said a...

I have heard that early pinto eingine parts can be used on this engine. (one thread i found suggested the distributor would match up.) Napa has remans for 60 bucks so might try that route... fingers crossed.
