[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 8635, member: 82"] I don't believe there is a way to inspect it short of pulling the engine and giving it a wiggle. Expensive? no! the damage it can cause if it goes bad sure can be expensive though. A set of U-Joints will run you around $100 - 150, maybe less. I think mine cost 35 for one and 45 for the other. That was a VERY good price and thats in AUD. Even greasing them is a headache when installed. The previous owner of one of my 743's had the rite idea, they cut a hole in the chassis so you could gain access to grease then VERY easily. It should be a factory *mod* it was a breeze, and even easier to align the end of the U-Joint to the pump!!! As long as the engine and hydrostats are good, don't let the thought of bad U-Joints spoil it, they can be changed fairly easily, If you are worried, change them or at least check them and give it a good squirt of grease.
