the 743 is a nice machine I was looking to buy one but somehow I wanted the little 310 it would be great for back yards ect but found the m371 and 4 inches larger and the guy selling promised it was a good little machine I have no complaints

I got confused with the numbers the 743 I rented ,anyways I do not know how the numbers go but for me a smaller machine is good I can get in the back yard and it does not scare the crap out of the home owner ,some like diesel some like gas

does anyone know the Timken seal number for m371 thanks

 

[Hotrod1830]

does anyone know the Timken seal number for m371 thanks

Its been several years since I did mine, I cant remember the number. I got them from loader parts iirc. If your doing seals, do all 4. If the bearings are tight, you probably wont need any, but check them. The bearings have a tendency to rust and pit. No play at first, but they get loose fast. Replace them if pitted. Also make sure the chain case isnt cracked where the axle tubes are welded on. Mine where cracked. People sure are hard on these little things.
