I was at my Bobcat dealer on Friday and was talking to one of the mechanics there. They had a 753 just like yours which the customer hadn't greased in 600 hours. The lift cylinder pin seized and then broke causing the cylinder to go back through the frame and into the motor compartment. Final bill: $4000.00. Grease 'em good.

$4000 for a toy, hope you will have fun with it! I am also a fan of bobcat SSL, but I don't have enough space and money to afford one, so congratulation!
