Looking at a 1998 751

Thewanderer · Dec 25, 2014

I'm going to look at a 751 with a 39hp Kubota tomorrow, wondering if anyone can tell me what to look for as far as problem areas. I know chain slack, blow by, hard starts, but is there anything I should look for? New to bobcats. It has 4100hrs.

I may be mistaken, but the 751 should have the Peugeot engine. From what I've read, its not very desirable and parts are tough to get.

The 753 has a Kubota engine though.

Later production 751 did come with Kubota and there was change over kit to convert the Peugot to Kubota if desired.
