742B creeps to the right.

Hi to all,
Actually I posted a question on this a long time ago and finally had a chance to put everyone's advice to work. The problem I stated was that sometimes (usually when it was warming up) the skid-steer would creep forward in a right turn and this was getting annoying. Before attempting the steering adjustments, I replaced the bushings and cam lobes on the steering levers. The cam stop bars I was able to turn over and get a new side.
Putting the machine up on jackstands I was able to do the neutral adjustments and noticed right away that I had less slack in the steering arms.
While I was at it I adjusted the micro-switches for the back-up alarm. I was able to get the parking brake working by moving the actuating arm a few splines and then final adjustment with the threaded rod (the parking brake had never worked since the day I brought it home).
Also I changed out the chain case oil and the hydraulic oil. After a test run I put the snow plow on the front and chained up the rear tires. Hopefully I am all set for winter now.
Thanks to everyone who advised me on this,
John

Good to hear you got it all adjusted. I know it can be a pain to do, but its worth it in the end.

My 743b will not start, without using either, then it starts great. Since is it getting colder, it takes more either. I had new glow plugs installed, and a new selinode. Even after all of that, in hot wheather, I had to give it a shot. After that it would start great, unless it set for several hours. Any ideals?

I'd verify that the glow plugs are actually getting power. The other thing would be to do a cylinder compression test.
