There is a way to check. Put the boom all the way down. Unhook the line at the back of the cylinder closest to the motor compartment. Wipe fitting on cylinder clean and on loader frame. With loader running push the boom pedal for down. Make sure you only push pedal in down position since the...

Sorry if this comes through wrong. I keep getting a server error in '/' application each time I try to reply. I remember tapping snap ring in til it snapped into place. I don't think I used a new snap ring. I suppose the ring could have snapped out. As I told Taz I haven't had a chance to pull...

I haven't had a chance to pull the motor yet. I wondered the same but I figured it would have leaked before this. I was real careful putting the seal in since I ruined one seal from a burr on the edge of the bore for the seal. Since I couldn't think of anything else I wondered if there was a way...

This is leaking more than a bit. It looks like it's afraid of getting lost and needs a trail to follow home

I thought of this also but if so wouldn't only leak when I activated the lift or tilt? This is running out oil with it sitting idling.

The oil is coming out of the shroud and I can see it up to the radiator. I probably have more like 50 hours running. That's what is puzzling. The whine only seemed to happen when I was backing up and tilting bucket back. When the shuder happens it actually feels like the steer levers are being...

No all those worked fine. I am having trouble posting so if I don't get right back that's why

I have changed the filters and it doesn't have the bronze filter.

After good info from Tazza and others on this site I got my 743 back together after the u joints exploded and took out the input shaft on the tranny. Put in new shaft, bearings, front seal, ujoints,and front tranny damper mounts and all motor mounts. Checked height of input shaft and motor to...

I finally found the right orientation for the cartridge and everything is working great. Actually the arrows need to be on the side of the pump. I put the pump together , filled the pump with oil and then connected all the hoses and filled reservoir with oil. After starting I had to bring it to...

If you are mechanical you can do most of the work yourself. I just repaired half of my hydro pump and it's not complicated. You'll need some large open end wrenches for the hoses. You might as well start by pulling motor which is real simple. This will give you better access to the hoses and...

OK. I dumped the oil (I should have stock in speedie dry). Pulled end off pump and shaft is turning, all splines connected, You were right Taz, I had cartridge in backwards. I didn't realize those marks were arrows. Arrows on opposite sides of cartridge. Cartridge looks symmetrical so assembled...

I thought about this coupler. I know I pulled it out when I had the tranny apart but I'm sure I put it in since it's not hanging around in my spare parts. I hate to think about pulling it apart to see. I'm going to pull the end from the hydraulic pump first to see if it rotates. One of the...

I have no lift tilt or other functions. I do know the U joint is hooked. When I contorted myself to hook it up it slid on and I could feel it turning the adapter spline. Foolish me I did not spin the input shaft before buttoning everything up. Am I right in thinking I will have to drop the...

I just did the rebuild on my 743 bobtach. You can buy the replacement bushings through bobcat. As always a little pricey. As Taz said if you have the facilities to make them they aren't difficult to make. The one thing to remember when you weld them in is they need to be parallel to the bottom...
