[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 6592, member: 82"] The easy way to tell them apart is the 743 has a 4 cylinder Kubota, the 742 uses a Ford petrol engine. For a 743, some people say to change engine oil every 200 hours but my manual says 50. It never hurts to change the oil an filters more often. Make sure you use diesel engine grade oil!! not just standard car engine oil. If you just bought it, i'd start by replacing the hydraulic filter and the oil. I would do the engine oil and filter too. It wouldn't hurt to change the fuel filter. Grease all pivot points and you should be set. Any problems or questions just ask, these are very simple machines to work on. [/QUOTE]
