Don't let the horror stories scare you. They are a darn good tractor, but like any
machine, they need to be properly maintained. You can get the engine oil analyzed
for metal wear and coolant contamination, the antifreeze tested for anti cavitation
levels and the hydraulic oil for brake material. Sloppy pivot point on the clutch
pedal means a lot of hours, say over 6 or7000, or a lot of loader work. Check the
date codes on both air filters, and see if the pre cleaner screen in the trans is
deposit free. Check front pump drive coupler for looseness (not good) .Engine
should start with little cranking and no smoke, and little smoke even under load.
If you can, get the front wheels off the ground to see if the wheel bearings are
good and the linkage is tight and the spindles are not loose. A worn seat
suspension indicates high hours. Test the brakes for sponginess and effectiveness,
and that all hydraulics function normally as does the pto engagement.
I have put about 25000 hours on 3 Mannhiem JD with very few problems, but I am
fussy about maintenance.
Good luck!
