[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 39644, member: 307"] That 773 woud not be worth the trouble if it was free.

Believe it or not skidsteers can and do rust out if used in a corosive environment or towed on salt covered roads. If it looks like that on the outside, it looks like that everywhere the oil can't touch it. Cabs rust through. Oil coolers and steel hydraulic lines and valves rust through or leak because the seal surface rusts and is not smooth. There is a nut in each front corner of the cab that holds the cab down.
