Calling all John Deere Experts-skid loader question

minny67 · #1 01/09/09, 09:21 PM

I've been searching online for the past few hours trying to find out the difference between a John Deere 675, and a 675B skid loader.
Anyone know??

Might be going to look at one, but the owner isn't sure if it's a B, or not-I'm not sure what the differences are, and how it should affect the asking price?

Thanks for any help!

If it follows the same nomenclature as the dozers, the B would be an earlier model than a C which would be earlier than a D. The numbers would relate to the size/weight with a 750 being a larger machine than a 650.

The only info I've scraped up so far-the 675 was made 1987-89, and the 675B was made 1987-94.
Looks like they both have a Yanmar 44 hp diesel. The 675 has 1650 lbs lift cap., and the B has 1500lbs, but I'm not sure how acurate the info is-it didn't come off a JD site.

Thanks Bearfoot-I have posted the the site you suggested.

Anyone else?
