[QUOTE="cadillacderek, post: 33226, member: 1640"] I have a 742 with the gas engine. I was running my back hoe attatchment and all the sudden it started getting jerky and slower. I stopped it and checked the fluid and it was very low so I filled it back up and and went back to digging and it did ok for about 2 minutes and then empty again? filled it back up and same thing a few minuts later.. I went through almost 10 gallons of fluid and it just keeps dissapearing so i lifted the cab to look for leaks and could not see any.. no puddles under the machine, and didnt see any fresh fluid in the bottom of the engine compartment either. Now In my opinion thats an awfull lot of fluid to loose in a short period of time with absolutly no puddles or visual leaks?? I decided to pressure wash it off so i could hopefully see where it is leaking after it dried out. the next day I added some more fluid, started it, and still couldnt see where it was leaking.. So I let it sit for a week or so and its finally its dripping fluid out of the rear axel shafts?? anyone have any ideas?? im confused? also another weird thing is, after the engine is off and i move my right lever over to the accsesory postion i can hear some gurgling and bubbling noise in the hydraulic fluid tank.. like its burping air out or something ..and it only makes this noise when i move the stick into the acc. postion is this normal? i never notived before? any help is greatly appreciated thanks [/QUOTE]
