I also agree that it does not sound internal. Something is loose and perhaps an exhaust leak, which can sound like a knock. You need to find someone in your area to look at it. I love the idea of going to a rental place to find someone .... Never thought of that before.

Dawn soap and hot water work fine for degreasing. The 642 I bought had about 6 inches of oily crap in the bottom including the engine area. Took me about 6 hours to get it presentable enough to find the bottom. From there used hose and many brushes to finish it up. It also had 2 leaking...

Digger, what an awesome job on the skid steer. Totally agree on simplifying the machine. Thanks for sharing the info.

Excellent walkthrough of your rebuild. Thank you so very much for sharing..... Damn glad I have the Ford motor. :-)

I have the non-B 642... It has the ford 4 cylinder engine. Glad too, as the ford is dead simple and I have no experience with diesel engines. I would check your wiring. IMHO there is no way a water pump should cause an oil pressure issue. Simple things first.

Best of luck. I spent most of last year bringing my 642 back from the dead. All I have left is the wiring harness and it'll be good as new...

Second time's the charm....

Here you go...

In the spirit of sharing, I have the manuals for the 641, 642 & 643 Bobcats. If anyone would like a copy let me know.

Same as you, none of the usual places have any stock. Might have to find another sender/gauge combo and replace both.... Do you have a pressure gauge, or idiot light? I just replaced my 2 wire sender for my 642 which feeds a light. That sender is still available.... 6631695

I may have misunderstood this. Is this the oil pressure sensor for the motor, or the hydraulics pressure sender? If for the motor, what motor is in the 731?

I just checked my 642 and the distributor vacuum advance hooks to a fitting at the top part of the intake manifold. Right by the larger hose. I hope this helps

I have a 642 with the ford motor. The only vacuum line goes to the vacuum advance on the distributor. Can't recall where it connects to the motor, but can check when I get back home...

Which motor does the 742 have?

Is that a one wire, or two wire sensor?
