How do you tow a disabled 743 ?
Is there something you can undo to unlock the drive to be able to tow ?

Some models you can push the levers in the direction you want to tow it and that will open up the proper valves to let the wheels turn.

Otherwise, you can disconnect the hoses to the motors. This is messy and you need to make sure no dirt enters the system.

Bobcat used to have a special tool that could be installed for towing certain machines but I have only seen them in photos.

Most of the time your best bet is to winch it on to a trailer or flatbed tow truck.
