wow......I paid $8700 for my 753.....3400 hrs. Was a zero issue machine.....now when I park it, i get a 4" puddle of oil underneath. No dented bucket, perfect rims w/new tires...None of that electronic crap......just a rock solid unit......Ime quite pleased. It was either this one or they had a Deere for 14K. I will forever miss my case 1840 controlls......I really hate this foot pedal crap....but oh well........Ray
I saw the unit in person today. Not as described. Tires showing cord. Lifted up, the front tires could be manipulated in a figure 8 motion, bearings shot. Leaky wheel seals. Mangy insides. What got my goat was the evasive salesperson who seemed confused. Hour meter busted, second engine inserted after 2k hours. When a seller says just the wrong thing, or gets flustered, you know the machine has a checkered past. I said, "no thanks". Hightailed it home. Saw a nice and tight 743 later on. Solid starting in a cold morning, no smoky exhaust. Bucket tight but needs floor/cutting edge. Has a solid, non-cracked glass canopy. Anybody familiar with fixing the heater fan motor, it doesn't work on this unit. It does have an inblock heater, though, and glow plugs. I like the looks of it. Virtually new rubber. 6500 clams. But, I can fix the bucket easily, how about the heater motor? Suggestions? Thanks, all. Let's all wait for stimulus checks and change, Mike
