[QUOTE="pondfishr, post: 14378, member: 225"] What kind and how much hydro fluid did you use in your machine? My 743 manual lists Bobcat hydraulic/hydrostatic transmission fluid P/N 6563328 or 10W-30 or 10W-40 SAE motor oil. I have read here that most hydraulic fluids are too thin for the Bobcat specifications. There are a number of posts here addressing the same question. You should be able to do a search with hydraulic fluid and oil and get a number of hits. For flushing the system I don't think there is a complete method. You run the machine with the system breached until you hear the pumps whine. Shut the machine down and add fluid. You have to do this a number of times to completely flush the system but that is the procedure. Check old posts for more and I am sure some of the other members will help out too. [/QUOTE]
