The 763 is a nice size machine. What to look for really depends on how old it is. I would take a couple 3/4" wrenches along and flip the cab up. Look for (2) Y shaped aluminum pieces that the hydro controls are bolted to. Make sure they are good and tight. While you have the cab tilted back, look to the back of the cab area for the fan drive gearbox. Make sure it is tight, and has been full of oil. Axle seals and the BICS (Bobcat Interlock Control System) behind your right elbow. Make sure it is clean and all the green lights work

You may want to throw some counterweight on it. The 763 may get a little bit tippy if you're digging in heavy clay... at least according to observation and owners' comments.
