In the first quarter of 2002 the Bobcat company changed it's skid steer loaders identification numbers. (click on bobcat numbers? for more info)

The S 175 replaces the 773 G-Series model.

The S stands for skid steer loader while the 175 indicates the loaders rated operating capacity (1750 LB)

The first Bobcat scale model manufactured with the new identification number was the S 175 scale 1/50 made by Clover.

Although the S 175 was small in size, it was verry detailed.

The model came in a display box, witch sadly gets permanently damaged when it's removed.
