Hi, I'm new here, and to Bobcats, so please go easy on me! I bought an old 743 w/ 3700 hours last summer, ran it fine for just a tank or two of diesel. It hasn't seemed to leak any/much hydraulic fluid, but the chain case was quite low and had to add a few gallons to fill last month. This morning, I started her up, noticed a small puddle of oil around the left tires, but chose to ignore. I was loading stone and digging up dirt for a few hours. Then, while transferring a load of stone, the machine started to make a loud knocking/clicking sound on the left side wheels (not sure front or back). It sounded like a chain was skipping a gear or something, and the machine was lurching. This occurred whenever trying to make a right hand turn. I limped it back to the driveway, shut it off. Found the hydraulic fluid level was fine, so was the chain case fluid. I took a break, then went back and there was a pool of oil between the left tires. Going underneath, there is a slow but steady drip of oil coming from where the left rear tire/wheel meets the axle housing(?). Finally, I tried to start the machine but it wouldn't start. This is weird, as the machine always had started right up, especially when warmed up. I'm wondering if it isn't overheated, so will go try to start in a while, we'll see. Could anyone point me in the right direction as to what is wrong, and perhaps why? Thanks in advance!
