If they will let you test drive it, check the levers that operate the forward and reverse, listen for growls or sluggish motor engagement,and if it pulls to one side, sometimes just adjustment, other time could be a sign of weak motor, check the axles for leaks,usually the seals,but could be axles worn a groove in them necessitating teardown and have axles rewelded and turned by machinist. Check for cracks on loader arms top,bottom and sides. Check also where the bucket quick tach is for cracks and extreme wear where the locking pins set. On the latter it will only take time and a welder to fix,but will affect the price. As for the engine I have no idea about diesel engines so I will not give any info on them. Don't forget to check the cooling area (radiator and oil cooler for leaks or bad repairs). Just my 2 cents worth. We have a 722 but back when we bought ours used it was extremely cheap by todays standards. Hope this helps. LOU
