[QUOTE="sawdust, post: 5155, member: 730"] After looking at more overpriced, (and/or!) thrashed machines than you can imagine....I finally found 'the' one yesterday at a dealer and purchased it. Little smaller than I had my sights set on (but lighter...so my truck will like it)....a '98 751F with the Kubota motor. Suprisingly nice (original) paint, 1200 hrs, fresh dealer service, new tires, smooth bucket, pallet forks. Fired immediately (cold engine) at a little under 20F, every pin and grease point shows a grease stain in the paint, everything appears bone-dry. 8K w/delivery (100 miles). I hadn't really wanted one quite that small.....but then I start thinking about what a friend/competitor does with a really well-used old 743....and he can do more damage with that than I expect to do. Here's the question: The dealer will put a good used set of grouser 'bar-style' tracks and wheel spacers on it for 1K.....and that sounds like the high side of 'fair'....but I may be all wet. I need to let him know today. Any input? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
