Hi After reading the whole story you posted about it being only in the wet for a few hours but that was 5 months ago and it was slurry lagoon type stuff. If you get lucky with how little's wrong and the cost of fixing it's real cheap, go buy a $1000 of lottery tickets as guys say sometimes in these situations.
From what I see with the corrosion on electrical component terminals on farm tractors that haven't been swimming in corrosive environments it's interesting sometimes. Plus any components that are internal that got contaminated could be starting to rust as well or cause problems later.
My guess is it's an insurance buy back if you got it cheap, They wrote it off for a good reason. They don't usually dump stuff that's an easy fix or will be ok after the repairs. It may be a health issue with comtamination from the swim to lots of cars from floods are scrapped because of sewage issues.
If it's not a buy back I think somebody knows why they didn't want to keep it and fix it. That 2016 machines got to be worth a lot of money on todays market with nothing wrong. even if you get it going now there could be long term problems I wouldn't want to sell it on or own it now really, it just says run away or scrap to me. Regards Robert
