Hopefully, I will soon be buying a Bobcat 709 backhoe at auction for my 160S. My local Bobcat dealer wants $ 427.50 for a set of the brackets to mount the hoe to the cat. There are a couple of pairs of brackets on craigslist for a 763, and I've been told that the frames of the two units are the same...true? Will 763 brackets work on a S160? Failing that, is there a more reasonable dealer in regards to pricing that I should contact? Thanks

To the best of my knowledge they should fit, eye up the holes and take some measurement of width.
Dealers have the freedom to set their own pricing, so it might pay to call a few of them.
