With any bobcat with a Kubota diesel, that big thing is it was not overheated and the head is cracked. Other then that, the engines is pretty much bullet proof. Anything else is pretty much normal wear. Check quick tach pins for wear, also see if the steering is tight. Both are rather easy repairs, but a dealer will be about $500 for each. The only thing that would make me think twice is if it needs wheel bearings. Jack the machine up and see if any of the wheels slide in and out. It is about a six hour job per axle to fix. I tell anybody looking at a used machine is have a dealer check it over before you buy it. As for running attachments, the machine you are looking at is a G series, so it has the brains to run any bobcat "smart" attachment like a snowblower or angle broom. Attachments like those have a little computer on them and when plugged into the 7 pin harness on a G series or newer bobcat, the bobcat actually knows what is on the front of it and adjust your hand controls to run the attachment. No extra wires or control boxes to deal with, all plug and play. More then likely the machine you are looking at is not high flow and that is not a big deal. When buying attachment size the attachment around the 17 gpm a 773 puts out.</p></blockquote><p></p>
