[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 35748, member: 82"] The moving is a simple adjustment. The arms may be harder to repair. The best way is to actually remove them, gouge the cracks and welt it all the way around with quality rods that will weld full thickness. I did this on my 743, it worked great. What engine does it run? if its a deutz, make sure you change the timing belt when you get it. They are meant to be done every 1,000 hours. Bald tyres aren't a big issue, less damage to lawns. My 731 had slicks, the machine went years with them, great to compact dirt too :) It is however an issue when you can see canvas, soon after a tube could be seen..... But thats a whole other story. If its for personal use, you can get cheap chinese tyres, they won't last as long, but they will take a long time to wear out if its just personal use. I have a set on my 743 that are about 4-5 years old, still look to have no wear. [/QUOTE]
