I have an H and I checked the following
stuff. Engine compression, 90 psi out of
all 4 cylinders. look for welds and/or cracks
in the block,transmission, and rearend.
is it tough to start, how is that steering
mechanism. throttle control, response and
stuff, all 5 gears work, 5th gear may stall
the motor-you may have to be on a decline to
start going in the 5th road gear, which
is 15mph. rust through on the tin and seat.
For the hydraulics, look for leaks, response
of controls, overheating, this would apply to
the engine too. make sure all the controls
work with full range of travel. Drain out fluid
from the engine and hydraulic system check
for water or other non petroleum. Fluid level
in the transmission is indicated by a small
1/4 pipe plug on the side which is the overfill
indicator. The trans holds 24 quarts of 90
weight. the engine holds 6 quarts. the
radiator holds 4.2 gallons. test drive and
let run for a good 30 minutes or so. Good
luck and let us know. You should
be paying 2000 to 3000 or so I guess.
