[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 2651, member: 82"] I too own an old bobcat, i have an old 731. It was built the same year i was born, 1978 (a good vintage). This machine runs a deutz air cooled diesel engine, it is basically bullet proof, starts first go even when its cold. When i got it, the previous owner had replaced the engine, the hydrostatics are still in great condition. This was my first bobcat, i have had so much work out of it it doesn't owe me a cent. It is very simple to work on. All the air cooled machines are a little easier as they have no radiators to worry about, but air cooled engines generally are a little more noisy. All the machines up to and including the 743 are non-electronic and are easy to work on. The later model stuff is all computer controlled. I would love a nice new machine, but all i need is for the computer to fry and i will be up for a few grand to replace it. [/QUOTE]
