[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 79364, member: 6128"] Bobcatdan is correct. Mine is off a 763 but identical to yours. We had to use a 10 foot cheater pipe connected to a pipe wrench and still took one hour to turn out that aluminum gland. It was toast as the pic shows. Were no treads left. It was all galled to the steel tube. Aluminum gland and steel tube... dis similar metals... just fused together. I say a very poor design for the neck of that gland. If you're lucky enough to get it out, you'll be buying a new gland. Was still cheaper than buying a new cylinder which was @ $1,000 (from Bobcat) Good luck to you.
