Hi im new to this site, I ussually hang around at plowsite.com since im in the snow plow buisness but i have added a skidsteer to the fleet and there not much info up there about skid steers. I have purchased a 99 873 with 1500 hours and i love the machine but its the first one i have ever owned and im not familiar with repairing them. It sure would be great if you had a link for the 873 manual or even better if you had the cd. I down loaded the 773 manual but theres a lot of changes between the 2 machines Thanks, Bruno
