On the 753 in the video the pump is not blocking that rear cover plate. This is different than what I remember the 742B {I think 743 is more like a 742 than 753} to be like.Some working room can be gained by undoing the front mount and jacking up the pump end. In retrospect, If i was going to do the job on all 4 axles i would be considering lifting the chassis of the machine off the chain case.The hydraulic motors and hoses to them are the biggest items to disconnect. There are a bunch of bolts between the 2, if you have the ability to lift the chassis up, and then the chain case can be rolled out from under the chassis like a big roller skate. I do have a lift and have not done it this way myself but have seen videos of others doing it this way. HTH.</blockquote>
