(machines with triangle headlights are G series.However the 94 to 98 machines also had the BICS intelock system, but if they come with the anolog guages (non Boss loaders) I would not hesitate, these machines can have this safety interlock stuff bypassed quite easily.  (bics just controls you park pin/brakes and a hydraulic valve that locks you lift and bucket tilt foot pedals.) Also I have had no trouble with the bics on my 553 or 853.the boss system on my 93 753, and the engine protection on my 773 G have been another story, and i don't recomend them. Not that they were so bad I had to sell the unit, but they will cause unecessary agrivation and engine sensors ($30 to $50 parts) and computers ($800) don't las the life of the machine in my experience.Ken</blockquote>
