Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see good morning gleanerguy, if your just going to be using it for chores around the farm and it has been serviced and greased and looked after I wouldn't be to worried about the hours. biggest thing is try and get as much history as you can from the seller. how much slop in the pins and bushings? drive it around listening for knocking, grinding sounds. you should be able to feel with your hands how much slop is in the drive chains, when you push forward do's it start moving as soon as your hands moves, are both sides moving the same? or is it trying to turn when you have even pressure on both sticks? when you get it home DO a complete service, all the oils, hydraulics, pull the bottom skid plates steam clean everything up so you can get a good look at hoses, linkages. when I bought my case 1845c I was told buy the seller that it had just had a complete service at the local case dealer NOT! when I pulled the plugs on both chain case drives (supposed to be 5 quarts of 10/30 oil on each side) out came 8 gallons of water/oil slurry from each side! is the machine straight? has it had a bunch of welding and crack repairs? i'm sure you know the drill gleaner, check the seller out, his place out, his other equipment out, on your way in to look at the machine, and you'll have a pretty good idea how he looked after the machine.
