Yeah that's what I remember, Deere didn't want to put a ROPS on the 7 series which was required at a certain weight and/or configuration.
Someone on the forums compared the frames of a 748 and 758 and they had the same gauge steel but the 758 was missing one bracket or cross member near the front of the machine which was probably for the loader. Otherwise they were nearly identical so not much weight was saved on the frame redesign.
