[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 3007, member: 307"] Side play is a judgement call. My 773 has more sideplay too then my 753 had with twice the hours on the 753. Any loader with a straight lift path will have more movement then a radius lift path machine. The more pins and arms the boom is made up of the more it will move side to side, and the more places it can wear and develope slop. You just have to pick up a bucket of dirt and drive over a bump to see how much they shake. Also be sure to put the bucket down (lift front tires) and move all the cylinders back and forth to see how much each pin moves. The tighter the better. Usually the bucket dump cylinders are the worst at the bucket end. That pin rotates alot and get a fresh sprinkling of gravel regularly. Also if the machine has not just had a bath, see how much grease is around the pin areas, grease looks terrible, but lots is what you want to see. Bring your grease gun and see if any of the grease zerks will not take grease, if they are plug they were not greased as often as they should be Regards Ken [/QUOTE]
