Wound up finding a used 709. In pretty good shape, especially for a 1994. Pressure washed it and greased everything. Had a couple of leaks at the quick connect fittings, but took them apart, cleaned up the threads & contact surfaces with a wire wheel, thread taped them and put them back together. Leaks gone.
The seat isn't ripped but the material is in tough shape from years of sun. Will see if I can find a replacement at Tractor Supply.
I was lucky enough that the hook mounts that came with the machine fit my S185. Would have been over $700 new from Bobcat. Installed those on the skid steer. Everything seems to be working as it should. Now the big thing is going to be practicing enough to get proficient with it.
Thanks for the helpful posts everyone.
