I currently own an older 743 have the opportunity to purchase a well cared for 853. Could anyone offer advice on the 853 compared to the 743. I think the 853 has an Isuzu motor and I would like to hear the pro's and possible con's compared to what I have today.

Might not have been what I wanted to hear but I want to do the right thing and will get rid of the twelves and buy 4 tens. I kinda figured that was coming anyway. The machine unfortunately did not have an hour meter so it is anyones guess. Is changing the hydraulic fluid a big deal and how much...

I just bought a used 88 743 for $6500.00. "Is this a decent price machine appears to be in pretty good shape considering the age"? My second question is about tire size it has 2 new 16.5x12 tires and 2 worn out 16.5x10. Is there any harm in getting 4 12's instead of the 10's that are the factory...
