I need a shot of burbon in a dirty glass. I researched for months before investing in this machine and going to tracks was always part of the plan. I saw nothing out there that indicated a 753 would not take tracks without these issues. The Bobcat dealer quoted me aobut $3,500 for tracks before I found the Tracks Plus option. TracksPlus certainly did not have any reservations selling me "753 tracks". I spent a couple of days in the chaincase as part of the restoration, flushed the case, changed the case oil, and replaced the bushing/pivot bolt in the lift linkage on the center cover and adjusted the parking brake, re-seal the cover, etc. Thats just a fraction of the work done, the local bobcat dealer parts folks call me the "753 guy" and keep my serial number pinned on the wall. I guess I might come around but at this point just cant see cutting the front drive chains off. Everything in there is in great shape. Maybe I should sell the 753 and move up to an 8-series unless I find a track solution. I will only run it on weekends and I have to go regarless of the weather or I'd end up spending alot of time on the couch. (its not the rainforest but it does rain about 50-inches per year here in KY). I cant get the 753 back into the shed if the ground it wet, it just spins. The purpose of the SSL was just to play smart in approaching general farm maintence with the most challenging task being clearing up and expanding riding trails around 1,000 acres of wooded variable terrain (everything from creek crossings to hillsides). Moving to a full-on track machine is beyond my budget (they dont make them old enough yet <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Any thoughts?</p></blockquote><p></p>
