    742b engine locking up

    There are only 2 nuts in the cab that need to be removed to tip it. They should be 3/4”, then you can see the coupler and watch how it moves. If you have not greased it recently it would be a good time to do it especially the slide on the spline.

    Sell or Keep?

    My Brother-in-Law has a 742B. First question, have you been greasing the slide and universal between the engine and the pump? If not, sell it because taking the engine out will be a nightmare. We put a factory rebuilt in at 6,000 hrs and it did not take long for it to start blowing smoke again...
