This was a training school machine, never did any hard work. I bought it off a builder who bought it to clean up rubbish around building sites when they were finished, but he never used it. I bought it about 6 years ago with 943 hours on it when we were building the house to dig the sewer and power trench to the house and shed and to prepare the shed and driveway for concrete. It cost the same as the quote for the sewer. Also bored the fence post holes with it. It now has about 983 hours on it, just has it's 1000 hour service with all new transmission fluid and engine coolant. Gets a grease before every use and new engine oil every 6-9 months. Only got new tyres at 900 hours, still has original bucket. Someone will pay good Ebay money for it. 743B was the last of the north/south engines. 753 started the east-west trend and people don't like them as much.
