753 compared to 742B & 743B

[wings5j]

Hi to all,
Someone donated a 753 to a nearby Bible Camp. A friend called me and asked a bunch of questions about it. I filled him in based on what I know so far.
What I was wondering is if you guys could list any significant differences between the 753 and my 742B and also the 743B?
Any observations, trivia, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks, John

You see the different specifications here http://www.bobcat.com/historical_specs
The “B” on the end of the number normally means a different engine 742B would be a gasoline 36 HP Mitsubishi where the 742 was a 34 HP Ford engine. The 743 uses a 36 HP V1702 Kubota engine. I don't know what the difference is between a 743 and a 743B. The 753 uses a 40 HP V2203B Kubota engine.
