Ya , thanks guys . I now know the difference between my 773 and a 753 that I saw . All this time , I thought the 553 was about 2 sizes smaller like they do with the numbers on other heavy equipment . Good stuff .

woops , I ment that I thought the 753 was 2 sises smaller from the 773 but according to this the only difference is the lift arms and the wheel base . thanks
