Dido, they are very important. I grease them annually and they are a pain to get to. There are three (3) to grease.

The points were even temperamental on my Mitsubishi that's why I went with the Pertronix electric ignition. No more fussing with points and runs smoother.

Still above ground and busy building my dream shop 60x80, concrete floor, and heated.

Good morning from Wisconsin. I too have a 742 that was very temperamental when it was cold out. I too had experienced the same situations in the past. If it was extremely cold outside I'd have to fully choke it and sound like the same symptoms. I even have an engine block heater. Mine has...

@haymaker, Great information being we're in the same area. Thanks and I'll add the info to my list. TC

@haymaker, thanks for all the information. It actually educated me because I'm a gas engine guy but know my way around a diesel a little too.

Sorry guys for late reply as I've been tied up finally getting my new Ag building started with frost walls being poured. I kept my old governor because it was only one of the side seals that was leaking requiring me to constantly add oil. Other than the oil leaking it was still working as...

@haymaker, I also live in Wisconsin. If you wouldn't mind what are the names of the boneyards in Wisconsin for used parts? Thanks

@Geo Man, How did the parts work out? Did they work for your rebuild? What part numbers did you order from amazon? Thanks TC

I had to buy a new HOOF which was $1200. However, I saved the old one being it was working fine and figured I'd pull the seals and replace them when I have a chance. Mine just had bad seals that needed to be replaced but will require disassembly to find the right seals.

I support your theory. I had an IH 656 tractor that was doing the same thing. After several frustrating hours of troubleshooting I found that there was a piece of rust in the tank that would work its way around the tank and block the tank outlet. I had actually back blew some air through the...

Worked great for me as I received all. Thanks again!

Hey brbgbldr, Could you send me a copy of the control valve manual too? Being I have a 742B I'd also be interested in the service manual you have if that can be sent or you would like to try to send it. The email in my profile is a good email to send it to. Thanks in advance, TC

Thank you so much. It's appreciated. It's clear and concise.
