Must have moved the stick over while getting in it and didn’t even think about checking that. Machine operates as it should now. Thank god for this forum and it’s members. Thank you very much. I’m glad it was so simple. Thanks brdgbldr. !!!

I have the starting problem fixed. It was the starter relay went bad and the fuel primer bulb was deteriorated. Now I have hydraulic problems after sitting for 2 months. They were working great when parked. That’s on another thread. Thanks for all your help guys!

I have a 743b. It was running and working great 2 months ago when I parked it. After sitting for 2 months the hydraulics are acting strange. When I push the raise pedal it raises as it should. When I push the down pedal it just lowers very slowly by its own weight, unless I push real hard it...

Yes, the screen is clear and pick up is intact.

It’s definitely not getting fuel, I cracked an injector line and nothing. Replaced the low pressure pump, tested it manually before putting it on, it works good by hand. I pulled a vacuum on the fuel line to get fuel to the low pressure pump. Still would not start. Cycled glow plugs, after that...

I tried bleeding the fuel system, my fuel filter is a little different set up that what’s pictured. There is a screw on the front of the fuel filter, I took it out and pumped the primer bulb until I got fresh clear fuel out, put the bolt back in. Opened the bleed knob on the engine that sits...

Hey guys, I have a I believe a 99 743b with the 4 cylinder kubota diesel. I initially had problems with the starter relay and thanks to you guys I have that repaired. But now it’ll crank but no start. If I cycle the glow plugs it acts like it wants to but just won’t fire off. With no glow plugs...

Perfect, you were correct, what an easy and cheap fix! Thank you. gjinc:!

Yes it is a 4 cylinder. Don’t know what I was thinking??? Lol

I own a 1993 bobcat 743b with 3 cylinder kubota diesel. I went to start it a few days ago and when I turned the key I heard the solenoid kick in but no crank. I cycled the key 5 or 6 times and got it to crank but then it would not stop cranking even with key off and out. I had to hustle up and...
