Thanks for the info! after looking at my machine I knew the brackets I have seen were not correct. Now the search is on!!!!

Just picked up a 709 Backhoe I am going to use it on my 773G Turbo machine, I will need the brackets to mount it to the machine, I have searched and can't find a photo of what they look like on the web. Anyone have a photo? Also I see a lot of stuff listed for the 8709 what is the difference...

UPDATE: Ordered a seat bar sensor $35.00 replaced it and all is well. I guess sometimes I look for the worse but it's just habit I guess. Thanks for everyones advice and comments!!!

Ok, thanks for the input everyone, I have the starting part handled but still no acknowledgement from the seat bar sensor. Checked and have 8 volts to the sensor on 2 pins and ground on the third pin. Took the seat bar off and removed the sensor and ohmed it out and it makes no difference where...

Forgot to add no codes in the BCIS computer

I have a 773G turbo that started acting weird and it has gotton worse over the last week or so. It all started with a no start condition, spin spin spin, no start. I checked the fuel shut off solenoid and helped it pull over and it stayed so it started right up. Repeat the same procedure several...

Not a G series it has the BOSS electronics on it, I noticed it is now on E-bay with no mention of the missing tag...

I have been trying to help a friend buy a machine, we found a couple and looked at one that was a decent machine at a fair price. While looking over the machine I noticed the serial number data plate is missing and upon closer examination it had one of the rivets still in the hole that was...

Looks like I figured it out the 709 is what I am looking for, now to find a bargain in one!!

Ok, just got my 773G turbo up and going and have an interest in a backhoe attachment for it. I have seen several locally for sale but I am not sure which one will fit my machine. I have a friend with an 843 and a 911 hoe and I know the mounting is not correct for the later G machine that I have...

I went ahead and bought the cover off of the 743 and it is identical right down to the casting number? And it fit and functioned correctly. I don't know why the part numbers are not the same but it was the correct cover. I took a shot at it for $50.00 and it workied just fine. Thanks for the input!

I looked at the alternator and there are no numbers directly on the VR on the alternator itself there is a sticker that reads " Melroe Company, Output 12V 55A Grnd. Neg. , Vendor part number A000B043I, SAE J1171 Made by Mando Korea" I hope this helps you the VR is blck plastic on the back of the...

I have the engine out and head off, I wanted to inspect the bearings due to the water in the oil. The bearings would be hard to tell from new, they have zero wear on them. I will measure the piston to deck clearance just to make sure. What I think actually happened was the coolant loss was...

Thanks for the info I will double check the crack is very small from the combustion cup over to the water jacket.

The machine is a 773G turbo. I am not too keen on all the electronics. I have only owned a 741 two banger Deutz.
