[QUOTE="lmcl123, post: 133622, member: 23978"] Do your due diligence! Does it have the ahc controls, or the foot controls? I bought a 2000 773 g Turbo several years ago. It had 3,460 hours on it. It had ahc hand controls (electronic / computer control board). I had problems with the lift not lowering. Ended up being the AHC control board. Bobcat had also replaced it when the previous owner had it. That one went bad after 200 hours. It cost me $1,600 bucks for the computer control. The control board had also been replaced before the previous owner owned it. If you know the serial number, you can get a hold of the local bobcat dealer and see if they have service records for the machine. It actually took local bobcat four and a half months to get it running right. When they replaced the control board, it fixed the original problem but created another one. The machine developed extreme shuddering when lowering the lift arm. Local bobcat actually cut a lot of the labor cost out of the final bill as they were a little upset with national bobcat. National bobcat actually said that they've switched vendors several times over the years for that control board, and each time they switch vendors the vendors use different components in it depending on availability or lack of availability. Therefore, the boards don't always work correctly. I sold that machine and bought a 1995 763 with $1200 on it. It had foot and hand controls. Mid teens isn't a bad price for it. One last thing, do your due diligence 😃 [/QUOTE]
