Okay, I'll check it out. It was a hot you could smell from a distance and it started to smoke a little. Certainly way too hot to touch. Thank you for the reply!

Ok, forgive me if I've missed something via the search and I'll have to find the paragraph setting... The machine was used very little until recently and was one of those $1,500 buys and later learned a starter and glow plugs were all that were needed to get going. I got tired of...

Ok it worked! This will be probably the only time I'll be able to offer info rather than asking for it... One of the high pressure valve thingies didn't want to come out so I rocked the machine back and forth and it sort of poped it out. You should have someone else ready themselves to grab it...

Thanks for all the help everyone! With a little luck I'll get something worked out tomorrow. Thanks again. Scott

What do I need to do to be able to move my 743 with the motor out of it? What little literature I have doesn't explain it. Thanks in advance!

You have no idea how much I appreciate the info. Are there any other tell-tale things I should look for to determine exactly what I have? If all I really need is the 15001 and up info I'm good to go. But, I tried to get a couple numbers off the lower front by the chain case but it's so beat up I...

Thank you very much for the information. There's an issue with the serial number and it's been a real pain in the rear. No, it's not hot but the plate is still missing. I know it's history and it hopped from owner to owner and at some point a pinhead (RIP - took it with him I guess) removed the...

So no one knows the technical name for that shroud? Huh.

I have a 743 in which a fire (previous owners) melted the majority of the large plastic shroud between the engine and whatever else is in there. I need to find a new one so what exactly is it called? I want to do a little research prior to finding one but even Google isn't helping much. Can one...

Thanks everyone! I'm finding there's more information on this forum than I'll ever be able to absorb but that's a good thing.

Hello, new to skidsteers and this forum so be gentle... Can someone tell me the difference between the 743 and 743DS? What information I did find on the net seemed to be all the same. Thank you in advance!
