They even took my 1702, stripped it and refitted the v2203 to mostly slip right into the 743. I had to reroute the intake...

    743 good or bad

    Yes very simple machine. Motor can be pulled in less than a hour...if need be. Totally agree with other comments...v1702 don't take kindly to overheating. Its a PITA but if for whatever reason you may need to pull motor then by all means pull the radiator, oil cooler, muffler, cooling shroud and...

    Can my 743 handle and DIY 5ft shredder deck ?

    Kicking around this idea...seen lots of youtube videos of ppl doing this. Got a 5ft 3pt shredder deck im looking to modify to attach to the front of my 743. Can the aux hydraulics handle this? How would you operate the aux hydro motor powering the deck? thanks

    Lap bar interchange, 751 to 763
