[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 133855, member: 24693"] Hey Guys, I bought what was presented as a 1990 743B skid steer. After doing lots of digging online I started questioning that and called Bobcat and sure enough they said it's actually a 1986 743. Apparently someone painted and restickered it. Live and learn I suppose. So Bobcat wanted $50 + tax to give me a link to download the PDF manual on it. Is there anywhere cheaper or even free to find manual information? I need to figure out fluid capacities and how to do some basic maintenance, what coolant to put in, how much, hydraulic fluid, engine oil etc. There's also a leak on the back I need to figure out. Anyone know what this is leaking and how hard it is to fix? I'm assuming a seal with this lever moves back and forth (see red arrow). [ATTACH type="full"]5993[/ATTACH] Closer view of leak [ATTACH type="full"]5994[/ATTACH] Also anyone know what the two fuses are on the top dash on the left side? One's blown and the other appears good. Thanks Malcolm [/QUOTE]
