To the original post. I have a Bobcat 743 from 1985 thats still going. The key is only used to preheat your glow plugs, and start/run. You put the key in the off or central position and pull up on the Red Knob right by your right thigh you stop the engine. I dont think there was too many changes...

Hi. Okay thank you. I've never had a problem at all with over heating. Its always ran cool. I have a new gauge and sending unit and its always been in the low green area. Never even got close to red at all. So I am hoping and praying its just a head gasket. Would I have coolant in the engine oil...

Hi Everyone: Hope everyone is good. I have a 743 which was running great. I ended up getting a leak on my lift cylinders, but got all that done and it works great. However, while i was doing this I figured I would give the whole thing a look over. When I removed my radiator cap, I found what...

Thx for the reply tazza. Well still haven't been able to go and get it yet. But , I agree with you about the pricey part of it. But it better not have any issues with the starting problem that I took it in there for. They said that the mechanic had to squeeze the fuel bulb to get it primed. What...

Good day Mr. Billrbg: Sorry haven't been on in a long time. Thought I would give you an update on the wiring. Yes I am pretty good with a multimeter. Can't remember if it was you asking or another gentleman was inquiring. Well I finally gave up on it. After everything that I did it was still the...

Yes that is correct sir. Just after it turns over and fires up with the key the starter manages to engage itself , slows the engine down( and tries to crank it all over again, while it is sitting there and idling. I know it sounds weird. I wish I could get a real good video on here , but with my...

Madbobcater:- I don't mind if you jump in as long as Billrbg doesn't get us mixed up with each other. When I said in my earlier post, about agreeing with...... I was saying that with regards to your alternator not directed at you personally. Do you have any pictures of your wiring harness...

I will agree with that one. Looks identical to mine it is a Delco. Billrbg just to let you know started a new thread. Figured with my page three starting I would start fresh per se. I left some info in that one for you. Don't give up on me yet? Please. I will get the pics. Let me know what you...

Good day Billrbg: Thought I would start a new thread. I know everyone is busy especially with the New Year coming up. I still have not been able to take any pictures as of yet. No sooner I come home I am gone again and I really apologize for the lack in the pictures. But this is what I have been...

Good day Mr. Bil lrbg: I will take a whole lot of pictures and get them posted under my folder in the pictures as soon as I get a chance. Have been super busy lately. My apology but will be a couple days.

Good day sir: Hope all is well. For the starter tests they were in previous post with attempt #1- attempt#3. I will try and start it with the key again and see what happens. It seemed to start and run okay by jumping it. When I had #4and#1 both of them disconnected and put my digital multi meter...

Good day: I will attempt to what you posted. And will re post the results to you. I have not however attempted to have all the wires hooked up to the way the schematics show. I other words I have not attempted to start it up with the key as of yet. Been swamped as usual. Hopefully I will get to...

Attempt#3: All wires remained connected as before to the starter. Blue/orange wire from glow relay is still disconnected as before. Connector #4 is now re connected together. Both of connector #1 as there is two of them are now disconnected. No key in ignition and ignition is not turned on...

Good day Sir: Sorry it has taken me so long to post. I have done three attempts of your suggestions. First I will say thank you for helping me with this. The first thing I did though was to take the blue/orange wire off of the glow relay. I did this in order to glow the glow plugs separately so...
