There is a guy in my area that sells used V2203 for $2,500. Not sure if this is a good deal or not and if it is a direct replacement, but he states he has sold them to guys with the 743/743B as well. I would prefer not to throw in the towel on the machine, as I dumped $2,000 in a new spool valve a few years back, new hoses, new glow plugs, new starter, new alternator, new solid tires, etc. I also wound up purchasing a 607 Backhoe attachment for it and have the machine setup with these brackets. Not sure what I would get for the machine for a bum engine and then sell of the model specific attachments, to then start over with a new machine and acquiring new model specific items. If this is going to be real expensive, I may not have an option though and it may be the end of the road.</blockquote>
