A you need to be sure the u joint is greased you have to pull the motor out. At least that’s what I found out

My mom had a 1987 743 the getting hot sounds like what hers would do. Below where the radiator is mounted 2 panels coverings the oil cooler probably needs cleaning out, an the flywheel is what hat stirs the air for cooling the engine like my mom’s I bet the shroud is full of a slurry so it...

Thank you

T hank you. Do you have any idea how come when I turn the spline I’m getting a little fluid leaking out below the adapter? I already put in the new seal? I am about ready to put the engine in and hope that everything is good because I have not got any help from Bobcat and they don’t get I don’t...

When I turn the adapter on the pump it leaks a small amount of hydraulic fluid? I have replaced the seal. Any ideas? Thank you

I ordered a new one and I have no idea how it got bent. I have it sitting outside an well family member is not a good person so I’m betting it was damaged intentionally

I don’t understand smooshed? I had a operator tell me that what I see when I am turning the pump is how it works when connected to the motor as the flywheel rotates and that as I was moving at a crawl when the ujoint went out he didn’t think I could have bent the shaft

If you mean the bolt a thick washer that holds the adapter on the spline I have a spare one that I can send you. I ordered a new one because I had thought it was lost when I left it in the engine compartment but it’s as good as the new one

Thank you

Is there any way to check if it is indeed bent. Remember I’m no mechanic I just wondering if it’s something that I can do

Even though I was barely moving when the ujoints came apart how likely is it that I would have bent the shaft?

The ujoints came apart when I was barely moving, and they had never been any kind of work done before that I know of. I was putting the adapter back on the spline today and when I turned the shaft 360 degrees it looks like 3/4 th of the way around it goes off center. Like it's out of round. I...

If you don’t find one I would mail you the one that I have off the 743

When it was being turned over it had an odd sound and a friend who is a mechanic said he thought it sounded like something was in a bind or too tight. Now the first time I put the engine back in the coupler slid right in and I had very little trouble lining up the engine mount holes. Then I...
