I am selling my Oliver 880, it's a gas burner, runs good, no power steering or power booster. A little over 3500 hours on a working tach, tires are weather checked but usable. I made a deal with a guy 400 miles away to sell it to him for $2500 and he hasn't come to get it yet, no money changed hands yet. I checked the hydraulic one day last week and all of a sudden, it doesn't have any oil on the dipstick. I filled it back up and waited a couple of days and checked again, it's halfway down to the add mark. I called him and told him it is losing hydraulic oil and I didn't feel right selling it as it is. He said to let him know what I decided. I pulled the hydraulic unit hoping just the seals were bad and took the pump apart. The shaft where the seals ride is too rough to just put new seals in. I had a new shaft, needle bearings and seals put in to the tune of $305 plus a 330 mile round trip for parts. Would you just eat the added expense or try to raise the price and recoup the added expense?? I wouldn't feel right just selling it as it was, but I thought I was giving him a really good deal before I found the leak. I'd be happy if he would pay for half of the repairs, but I have a feeling that I will have to eat the cost or else try to sell it to someone else and hope to get my extra dollars back that way. What do you all think?? Chris

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
