Hello to this Group from Cleveland Oh. Soon to be retiring Auto Technician, own a 773 & a IHI 35J and looking to buy a SR220 to upgrade the 773. Done a complete Hyd. refresh on my current toy, Seals and all, Wheel bearings, Drive chains..... The 773 is Solid and Reliable Figured the SR220 is a all new learning curve and wanted to be able to source from some seasoned & experienced people for my new adventure....... Cheers!

Welcome aboard!
what are all those things? Those numbers are not familiar to me. When I hear 773 I think of this:

Skyking, You're flying way to high in the sky! You're thinking of a monster when I only got a Matchbox in comparison.... BTW, Thanks for the warm Welcome!

I figured it was something like that, but you can see the possibility of confusion. That looks pretty handy.
Regarding the truck, I have a few weeks in the little brother 769 Cat haul truck. It really was the first thing that popped into my head. I was thinking this guy has some awesome home projects, and his 22 ton excavator was a model I was not familiar with

Danger63,
I was confused, too. Then, I really wanted to see the size of your sandbox.
Welcome to the HEF. Good to have you.

Welcome from BC!

We owned a 773 Bobcat for several years, it was our acreage machine. The Kubota V2203 was a great engine. Ours was a similar vintage as yours with the same style boom linkage.
