These guys weld up heavy equipment exclusively. I'll need to prep it first by removing the hydraulic lines to the tilt cylinder and auxiliary ports before anything can be ground out. I'll do the bulk of the prep work and then have one of my friends take the repair from there. Glad to hear that its common, but I'm a little bummed about it. The seller buys and re-sells these units from a local Bobcat dealer. I think he buys all of their wholesale equipment, fixes them up and sells them. This particular unit was from a construction company that apparently took good care of their equipment. I think the selling price is a bit high, but in this area anything less buys a lot more work. I looked at a S150 with twice the hours, but is was beat up really bad. Loose pins, back cover all smashed, cracked and repaired loader arms, etc. But it was cheap. The 753 looked to be much better. The 753 also had two buckets, a full cab and heat. I'll get photos up of the machine and of the cracks as soon as I can.</p></blockquote><p></p>
