[QUOTE="rodzilla67, post: 118880, member: 21584"] I recently inherited my Dads old 743 Bobcat Skid steer. I admit I do not know much about it. I was told by my Dads mechanic that the hydraulic pump was replaced last year. The other day while I was removing some small stone from a job I lost control to the bucket and lift. I also notice that it did not like turning left or right and will almost stall when I do tight turns. It will drive straight pretty well but does seem to lack the power it had before. I immediately checked the hydraulic fluid and it was about 3 quarts low. I topped it off and tried working controls and driving around a little bit (maybe 100 yards). Didn't help. The only change in performance would be that it will allow me to lift about 2-3" at a time, but cant lower the lift and bucket controls don't work at all. When left with lift all way up it will lower itself slowly over several hours. Still doesn't like tight turns. I see no evidence of any leaking at all, before or after. [/QUOTE]
