[QUOTE="Chris 8603, post: 128913, member: 23605"] When I bought my 743 it had been sitting for 5-6 years because of a blown hose and had been leaking at the valves. Thinking at first it was the valves leaking they never took time to repair it. Then a few years later that hose blew. He couldn't find anyone that would replace the hose and not wanting to take it to bobcat, he parked it. It sat for all those years when I bought it for a song. NOW let me tell you that hose was something to change!!! I had to make a wrench to get it off and my then 10yr son was the only 1 of 4 of us that could get 2 hands in there to remove it or install it. I don't know how bobcat does it except by removing the pumps. I don't remember what the other part was it connected to, but it made it look like the valve was leaking. After the repair the valves weren't leaking after all. It's a short hose about 16" long that makes a u down from 1 to the other. Look close at it when you are searching for your leak. [/QUOTE]
