At 15:40 this was pretty dangerous, when you were pulling that metal plate, that strap could become a slingshot, if that metal hook broke free it would come shooting straight at you, even if the strap just broke, it could become a whip. I would hate to hear that you got hurt my friend.

You seem quite resourceful... small sawmill, truck to haul materials, and the Bobcat. If you haven't done it yet, try and grease that ujoint between the pump and engine on the 743. Many owners are unaware of that particular ujoint.

Nice to see you back, thx for the update! The inside of the house looks awesome! 👍👍👍

J'ai bien aimé tes videos, j'ai l'impression de voir The Home Pros mais en français. 😙 En espérant que tu en referas d'autres, je sais que ça prend énormément de temps et tu dois en avoir besoin si tu rénoves ton corps de ferme.

Dang man that’s a lot to spend on that rough of a skid steer

I’m not seeing any about fixing the drive leak 😢

If you like this video make sure to check my videos for a more in depth Bobcat restoration series.

What kind of flatbed truck is that!!? And how much weight can put on it!!?

Rough machine, but I like your work.

I'd like to make a suggestion that you get a wind sock for your mic. Hard to make out what you're saying with the wind noise.

Not good that bloue smoke

Nice Bubcat. Im glad you started using that angle iron for a cutting guide instead of the levels. Also there should be another torch cap with feet on it for dragging the torch across the metal when you cut.

Nice job and a nice farm also, seems that there is much work, but you will make it! Thx for showing! 👍👍👍

Nice work! Be careful pulling on that strap with the machine. If it broke it would have hit you in the face so maybe protect yourself with the bucket next time. Beautiful spot you hav there.

Maybe you could have cut & fixed 3/4 metal strips to the bottom of the bucket extending forward, reinforcing the bucket first then put the long front plate on that would have given you more to weld to & a stiffer bucket for future use?? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Nice to see the 743 coming back to life. I just bought a 743B here in Aus for about the equivalent price. Mine had a bad leak from the hydrostatic pump, easy fix though. Bucket repairs and home made pallet forks are next on the list. Short walk around video on my channel if you’re interested. Looking forward to following future videos of your 743. Cheers from Australia!

great job, keep it up. i just subbed, looks cozy over there

Your Bucket lock is NOT all the way done on the left side of the Bob Cat(as you sit) facing it from the front its the right) As for your English it's better then My French!

thanks for sharing the video just to the left of your valve stack was a pipe is that your return to tank. could you plum yours up with a return to hydraulic oil tank? this would be used with a front mount hedge trimmer this would give you more oil flow

Are you in Germany?

Dragging your plasma cutter ,rather than pushing sideways will give you better control and a better cut...doing a great job

👍 nice job

I just restored my 743 bobcat about a year ago and I absolutely love it it’s been a great tool for my property.

That seat looks out of a gaming setup, not of a machine. Excellent transformation ! Great content. What's for next?

Windy city good times ❤ peace ✌

love the video thanks have fun

love the video thanks have fun

I was wondering why its smoking..😅. Thought you would cut out the whole bottom of the plate. Thanks for the video.

That’s a lot of euros for a very worn out machine…if you want to save your ground water don’t wash out oil or chemical based products on the ground…

man you got ripped off. i wouldve paid scrap price.

Le petit Sweat Farine de blé je l'ai vu ! Super vidéo continue comme ça ! J'ai 19ans et franchement j'apprends plein de choses grâce à toi même si je suis une bille en mécanique ahah merci

Be careful,you amputated the bucket of its cutting edge,wich is abrasive resistant steel,way harder than the bucket itself. If you don't re use a hardened cutting edge it will wear out the bucket fast on the edge. It's generaly AR 500 steel or similar.

tx mate

Great job and I must say it's refreshing to see your honesty I'm impressed. Love the farm it must be very old but I'm sure you will make it new again. Love the sheep.

Lmao.. thanks for being honest about your mistakes.. we all do stupid shit like that.. glad you got the issue solved.. So is this your farm you are working on? Looks like a beautiful place there.. 3 things.. very good editing.. very good content so far... and you got my sub man.. 👍👍 Keep up the good work there.. looking forward to more of it in the future..🍺🍺

Get a counterweight fabed for the engine cover.

wow, just seen first part a couple of hours ago and now part 2, got lucky! good job, 50k subs this year for sure!

Nice job. No more leaks?

You need to number each video 1,2,3......so we can follow along as you rehab your machine !

Hey so a friend of mine has a get-away property in france in the mountains where we use the exact same machine, its in better condition but its still pretty bad and could really do with a compleete rebuild untill then ive slowly been fixing it over the course of 3 years, but its a slow process since we only go there 1 or 2 weeks at a time 3 times a year, not to mention when we're there we constantly need the machine so i cant dig in it too deep, tho ive been able to fix one of the pins for locking the attachment, wich would often not lock ive also made it so it can be shut off from inside the cab again (for a long time you had to walk to the back of the machine and pull a metal wire sticking out of the door, pretty sketchy since the machine likes to crawl forward). Since the old cable was broken and i could not find a replacement i used a choke cable for a citroen mehari Last time i went there i got the wiring for the gauges to work so at least now we have a volt meter, hope to get the fuel and temp gauge working again as well tho, rn we just pour a few liters of diesel at random intervals Also that temp gauge would be real great cuz its leaking coolant, well..., water and there have been several instances of the engine overheating and blowing out a freeze plug wich is a pain to put back

Part 2 coming anytime soon?

Tu peux nettoyer les injecteurs avec de l'ATF ,c'est de l'huile de boite auto ou direction assistée,c'est très détergent et moins cher que du nettoyant injecteur. Si ça fume,c'est un problème d'alimentation en gasoil qui arrive avec difficulté à la pompe et qui cause un retard d'injection,ou c'est simplement un mauvais calage de pompe à injection. Pour voir si les cylindres sont usés,mets un peu d'huile après un test de compression à sec,si il y a une grosse différence sec /huilé tu le verras,même avec un manomètre aussi peu précis qui fuit. Tu devrais absolument éviter de mettre les mains autour d'un moteur qui tourne,en particulier en tenant un chiffon,à moins de vouloir perdre une main ou un bras. "Sorry for my poor english" haha elle est bonne, c'est pas le pire que j'ai entendu. C'est toi qui tient le drapeau de L'ipev sur la photo ?

Compression should be above 33 BAR / 480psi. Pop test of injectors looked ok. Chain case being empty was the tell tale of failed seals. Pressure test coolant system to identify radiator, water jacket, or head gasket issues which can cause smoking. Get the proper size belt and test charging system. FYI if radiator overflow tank was bad I’d check the water pump the next time you run the motor to ensure it is moving coolant throughout the engine. If it continues to smoke and there is a noticeable loss of power new piston rings and valves could restore compression.

So sorry my guy I would go no more than 3000 US Your looking at an engine rebuilt kit at a minimum . I would send your injectors out for cleaning ,, luckily the engine kit comes with all the things you will need. I have no idea wear you would find the counter weight and I bet it's super expensive. Your pressure test concluded it for me the first cylinder was 15 bar the second was 18 and 20 on the last two. I hope your planning on keeping this unit cause if you plan on a resale. You will never recoup what your going to have to put into it out of it except if it's for your use. One other way to tell you it's your rings and sleeves would be to see how much blow by or smoke comes out while the motor is running and the oil filling cap is off. if you see smoke order the engine rebuilt kit and from the looks of that head gasket in your shop I bet your more than capable of the task. good luck and I'll be waiting for your next video.

I JUST GOT A 743 FREE, LOOKS FUN TWO FIXES THUMBS UP NICES BOBCAT

How much are cheap? how much did it cost?

22 bar is roughly 300 psi. It looked like you had about 250 psi on the video which is too low. I think the rings may be worn from poor air filter/dust.

I hope to see you finish this, I have the same machine.

👏👏
