The 7753 is a good machine definitely more lift capacity than a 753. We have both and use them for masonry work and around the farm. The 7753 is called a vertical lift path machine, meaning the bucket moves in a vertical path as opposed to an arc like other Bobcats. The 7753s also came with a 66 inch bucket where the 753s and 740 series came with 60 inch buckets. All of this adds up to a machine that is better for loading trucks and moving lots of material but is not quite as handy in tight quarters. For parts and manuals we go to the local Bobcat dealer usually stock up on filters once a year with 10% discount. Even though the engines are both Kubotas I found out last year that not all filters are interchangable, good reason to favor local dealer. As for creep I believe it is an adjustment to the control valves or linkages. Have never adjusted it myself though. The box on the cab post is known as the BOSS system. Bobcat introduced this on the 7753 as a self diganostic. My experience is the sensors cause more problems than actual mechanical problems with the machine. I think I have replaced the water level sensor 3 or 4 times in 10 years. The screen however does also show fuel level, oil pressure, engine temp, and charge. It would be a good idea to get the screen fixed but don't know what the cost might be or if it can be bypassed with regular guages. Overall a very strong and durable machine with yearly maintenance. Email me if you have more questions.
