Guessing you need one real soon to bury your nephew?
Burnt my Bobcat
Welp,
It was only about 30 or so. Less than 2500 hours, but now it's gone.
Bobcat 743. Need something similar (with parts still available).
Anybody selling anything? Any names to avoid (Case, Cat, Takeuchi)?
What is similar to what I had (cause it was just about right for my needs).?
Evidently nephew spun it down into a gully, and while trying to maneuver out, broke a hydraulic hose, which started an engine compartment fire. Toast.

Ain't the first thing he's trashed of mine.
But I trashed some kin's crap when I was a spud, so I'm kinda benevolent in that regard.
Plus, he climbs like an ape.

That sucks, but it is what it is I guess.
Case 1845c would be comparable in size & would suit your needs well IMO. Parts still readily available & not a complicated machine to work on.

They are good machines. Had one on the far with 12000hrs before a rock wore a hole in the oil pan and ran it out of oil. I have never seen any other machines with those kind of hours with minimal repairs. I believe an 1840 would be more comparable to size. 743 are small machines.That sucks, but it is what it is I guess.

1845's get rode hard and put up wet and still keep rolling.
What part of the state are you from? I may know of a 1300 hour Bobcat 773 that might be for sale.
West side CRE, KCMo.
Had (oddly enough?) a CAT salesman drop by today. He's scouring their system.
I know the Cat folks don't orphan old machines, like Bobcat did this one.
(Got a '78 935 that I can buy any part it has).
