[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 4918, member: 307"] That kinda of money should get you a clean older 753 763 in the later 90's. look for loose pins on the quick attach and rod end of the dump cylinder. Machine with the boss bar guage panel are more likely to have accuate hour meters but keeping the panel working with all the related sensors (that go south btween 2000 and 3000 hous) can be a b*tch. Once you get to 99 G series (with the triangle head lights) they all have the engine monitoring system that can shut you down if the sendor tell the engine something is amiss. Don't get me wrong this is a good idea, it is just that the parts don't last the life of the machine. I know one guy who had the dealer dump 1600 cdn into his 753c to fix it. The rest of the machine is pretty bullet proof, provided it has not been abused with lack of grease and oil changes (loose pins and blowby) . Or hammer to death buy some idiot behind the sticks. the later being obvious, just look for the bent up cab, bucket etc Do check the engine blowby, and feel the engine block to make sure its cold b4 you start it, then see how quickly it quits smoking and smooths out and runs nice. Dealer should let you rent it, private guys should let you test it in their yards, maybe rent Ken [/QUOTE]
