While doing my pre-summer oil change and "look everything over" on my 755 which I bought new back in about '90, I discovered that the engine oil fill cap on the right side of the engine had cut a groove in the upper radiator hose. Not leaking yet, but I'm gonna replace the hose before it does.

Fixed the problem by grinding a radius in the square-cornered "gripper" on top of the cap.

My machine has about 850 hours, and hopefully this post will save someone from a breakdown.

I can try to take and post a photo if anyone needs it to understand.
