[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 22096, member: 82"] I guess it all depends on what you are looking for, easy to service, cheap to service! Simplicity? spare parts availability? In the past i would have said 743 all the way, but i have had the *pleasure* to use a 753 that i actually loved. 743 - easy to work on, parts are still available for the hydro's, quite strong but there are flaws in the chassis and arms that does let it crack over time. Axle seals are a pain in the butt to change. The engine is no longer being made, parts are available still but limited supply. I feel the engine is a little under-powered too. 753 - easy to work on too, pull the engine and pump as one unit. More electrics plus BICS box, i personally wouldn't go higher than an F series as after that you get BOSS. Easy to work on as well, no reduction boxes for the drive just a larger hydro motor. The engine is still in production, parts are no problem, has .5L more displacement than the 743 and you can feel it! The pump has parts available and they are CHEAP even the rotating groups. The frame seems stronger too. 763 - No higher than an F series to stay away from BOSS, i have one that i still need to work on, but the pump, engine and drive system are the same as the 753. The improvements i have seen is thicker steel on stress points, i would seriously doubt it will crack like the 743's did. But as i have not got it running, i can't be a good judge of this machine. Good lick in your search. [/QUOTE]
