[QUOTE="mbracewell, post: 1574, member: 232"] I successfully got the chaincase cover off my Robertcat (that should throw the Ingersol Rand lawyers off the sent) 743B. There are 6 bolts on the plate. The front 4 are easy to get to but the back two are behind another plate that houses the steering levers. You do not need to remove any control linkages. There are 3 bolts on each side of this plate. If you use a roughly 12" extension for your socket driver that will give you enough clearance to get the bolt out. As you start to loosen the nut the round headed bolt will start to turn. If someone is there to help they can just hold it. In my case a bit of duct tape to hold the bolt in worked well. Once you have all 6 bolts out the control plate should lift up at least 3" which should give you enough clearance to get at the back two bolts if you haven't removed them already. At that point the plate should lift out. If you think your gasket is salvageable then use care removing the plate. In my case I new it was in bad shape. Rather than buy a new gasket I am planning to just use silicone. Now I just need to suck out the 32Q of emulsified oil. Then as they say on the shampoo instructions...wash, rinse, repeat. Thanks to all that contributed both for your quick responses and great content. [/QUOTE]
