So in so many words which used skidsteer is the 350 chevy when it come to finding repair parts, and at a affordable price. New to the market, and looking for a fair unit that is in fair shape but understanding the machine is used so I may need to do repairs some day. Thanks for your advice.
Which older used steers are hard to find repair parts for, and which is the easiest to do the same.

Hi Hamster,
My advice is very limited and mostly anecdotal but fwiw: I have a 1993 742B w/ the Mitsubishi 4G32 engine.
So far, the dealer has had every part I have asked for. Sometimes in stock, sometimes at a wharehouse, and sometimes factory order. If I am not in a hurry, they will bring in the factory order stuff with their weekly order without charging any freight.
If I need it in a hurry they just ship it right to the house.

Bobcat 743. They were made for 10 years with no major changes. Some of the older ones had a slightly different port block setup for the pump, different panel and oil tank. All of which if really needed could be swapped over. They run a 4 cylinder Kubota, kubota parts are easy to get, you can even get aftermarket parts for a better price.
