Problems with743

There is a removable lockout pin in the linkage somewhere close to the control valve. With the cab up, on the left side facing machine is the control valve. the top spool linkage is the front auxiliary, trace that back to its control you should find the lock pin. Some liek to put the lock pin back in when not using the front auxiliary so they don't accidentally lock the the aux. in detent which causes all kinds of problems.

lol, all kinds of problems is right. Since the Aux hydraulics lines have never been used on my machine (indicated by severe rust and corrosion), they corroded right through. The right steering lever got bumped over to the right, detent, position and dumped out a bunch of hydraulic fluid on the jobsite before anyone noticed the leak. Quickly learned about that lock pin to prevent it from happening a second time while we finished that job.
