One is an 843 from 1988 where the seller wrote it has an ISUZU engine, i thought 843 was equipped with a perkins engine. I would not like to buy a one with a perkins engine since it may hard to get parts for. Here a picture from the engine http://ardiehl.de/Bobcat/843_enine2.jpg The other one is a 853, here the engine: http://ardiehl.de/Bobcat/853_engine1.jpg Both have already about 5000 hours. Can someone tell me 1) what engines are there on the pics (both are diesel engines) 2) are there 843's that are equipped with another engine than the perkins one 3) is there a belt between the pump and the engine (than it should not be to hard to install some other engine, just in case) I have found shop manuals for 7x but not a one for the 843/853 to have a look at the specs, therefore sorry for the stupid questions. Thx Armin</p></blockquote><p></p>
