    Ford 1.6L 2274e bobcat engine trouble

    For about $300 you can upgrade to electronic ignition. Not an add-in EI module but a brand new Pertronix EI distributor. I had problems with my 722's ignition and discovered the distributor shaft was worn which made the points gap go haywire when the engine warmed up. The new distributor...

    Need good wiring diagram for 722 with ford

    The electronic copies I've seen are just scanned pages from the manual. IMO the image quality is no better than the hardcopy manual.

    compact subgrade with weight of machine 743?

    When you have fill with a mixture of sizes (silt/sand/stone) a little to a moderate amount of moisture is a great help when compacting to achieve density. Actually that's true for homogenous fill too.

    Another 743B Tutorial Needed

    As has been related before had a 722 for 20+ and now have a 743B. With the ROP tilted forward the 722's controls/instrument panel remained as it was during operation. That made it easy to tilt the ROP and start and run the machine to look for leaks in the hydro system and examine other items...

    743 lift and tilt foot pedals adjustment?

    I'm surprised that my relatively new to me 743B's pedals seem tight. I've looked for zerks to grease but don't see any. How does one lube these? Spray lube?

    743B Fuel Filter Replacement

    I see the bead in your now, missed it upon first glance. Mine doesn't have a bead? I would think the sight glass was built so that it couldn't drift out the back.

    743B Fuel Filter Replacement

    I don't know if it's an upgrade included with the "B" model or someone did later but mine has the sight glass. What do you mean "bead hydraulic tank level indicator"?

    Edit - The filter type switch totals about $135. The other $55 is for the knurled bleeder valve on the injection pump.
