Posted Sept. 29, 2011............ I have a Bobcat 553 for sale. This machine came from Nashville, Tn. and was in good mechanical condition, but like most skid loaders it had surface rust on the cage. So, I had a friend of mine who does custom paint and autobody work, strip the white part of the machine to bare metal and re-pain it. The cage has peen painted with a special material that looks awesome and should last for years. It also has a new seat and new tires. I'm a sign maker so I also installed all new "Bobcat" decals. Hours on this machine are just 1500. I'm in Dixon, Ill., just 100 miles West of Chicago. Call me NOW and be the new owner for just $8850. 815 - 973 - 8128.
