I bought an 01' or 02' 753G back in December 18'. Has 3500 hrs on it. I'm the third owner. 2nd owner bought it at auction in 2010 with 3,000 hrs on it. He used it on his property mostly for fire wood chores. I bought it to use on the farm for my chores and cleaning my property. Should have bought one 10 years ago!
The machine would drip oil while parked. After doing some digging, it was obvious the input shaft seal on the fan (at the pulley) was leaking. Leaking all over the pulleys, both tensioners, both belts, big mess everywhere. Pulled the whole fan assembly out. Gearbox feels great, backlash is where I'd want it to be. Got a new seal and ended up getting the speedy sleeve as well. Shaft has a slight groove in it. While working on this, I noticed I had another leak - the right pintle seal. Of course it's directly under my other leak and it's made an absolute mess. I can fix this leak in the machine but i really needs a good hot water pressure washing. I have new belts and tensioners ready to go. Also, new pintle seals and o-rings for both sides. I pulled the motor our of a 763 for friend many years ago so I still had the jig I made to pull the engine. Over the weekend, I went ahead and pulled my motor out and seperated the pump assembly from the engine. Pulled the fuel tank also. Gave it all a good pressure washing as there was inches of crud everywhere.
While I'm here, I'm going to replace that small 90 degree lower radiator hose and the alternator belt. Water pump feels good with no play but now may be a good time to replace it. Any suggestion from the forum members here on anything else to replace while I have all of this out. Fuel lines, seals on the hydraulic or hydrostatic pumps, etc?
I'll post some pics later. Thanks!
