I had a similer issue with a 743B, with the Kubota v1702, when cold it was hard starting and also there was a fuel leak somewhere at the injector pump. the leak on mine was not at the fuel line fittings,(it sure looked like that was the culprit though) but on the adapter the fuel lines attach...

an update, All the steering linkage work is complete and adjusted with no creep. The loose bushings issue, the loctite 660 is a nice product and was used on all four of the bushings on the steering linkage, but had to resort to also using the center punch method as well for the bushing on the...
