[QUOTE="Rynowb, post: 128880, member: 23702"] I recently purchased a 743 with 2.2k hours and I'm having some issues. First and foremost it's leaking hydraulic fluid like crazy after using it for a few hours and for the life of me I can't figure out where it's coming from.... I lifted the cab and searched and as it sits not running it appears to not be leaking from anywhere I can see but after running it for an hour I parked it in my shop and it has about a one quart puddle under it. I don't know where it's coming from and it's driving me crazy. Second issue is, I ordered all new filters for it but I'm getting mixed results on searches for what engine oil I should use and which hydraulic fluid as well. If it helps I live in Washington state and we see about 10-20 days a year under freezing. I own a couple diesel trucks and run 15-40 in them without issue. The few hours I've ran it I've been very happy with it's performance but it's quickly turning into another useless tool for me. Any help would be appreciated!!!! [/QUOTE]
