    Bobcat 743 Spool issue

    Well guys I'm an idiot! I noticed today that my rear aux spool wasn't quite centered and now everything works as it should. I'm sure my front aux was probably stuck on at the beginning but after putting everything back together I must have slacked on looking at the rear aux spool. Next up...

    Bobcat 743 Spool issue
