[QUOTE="bewing, post: 1077, member: 180"] I just bought a used 88 743 for $6500.00. "Is this a decent price machine appears to be in pretty good shape considering the age"? My second question is about tire size it has 2 new 16.5x12 tires and 2 worn out 16.5x10. Is there any harm in getting 4 12's instead of the 10's that are the factory standard? Also I need to get a safety bar and lubricants oil change and hydrolic filter. Does anyone have advice as to things to look out for on this machine? I have rented these a few times and thought this was a good time to buy one and use it at home and get started doing work on real estate property driveways landscapes ect. I am really excited about my new toy "BOBCAT". I currently also own a kubota b7500 tractor with front end loader, finish mower, and box blade. I have a 94 chevrolet z71 4x4 automatic transmission truck with a 350 and am looking for a trailer to haul the machine.
