Hi Kent, Yes, that should be a simple fix to stop the creep. That's just an adjustment on the sticks to make them neutralise properly. Make sure the parking brake works too. Far as price goes, I think he's smoking crack. I was looking at one 5 years ago that they wanted 9500 for. The boom had cracks and the thing looked well licked. At the time I saw the thing it had been painted, a new seat installed, and new tires installed. After having driven 5 hours to look at it, thinking it was 9500 in that condition, he turns around and says it's now 11000.... What a negociator. I bought a new LS170 at that time for 29500, financed for 3 years for nothing. That was a no brainer to me. You've also got to look and see if that machine has boom hydraulics. If it doesn't then that certainly limits the machine's usefulness. Personally I think you could look around and find a newer machine like an Lx565 or Lx665 probably around the 10 range, and a better machine... or even an LS160 or LS170 for around 15000 right now. It seems to me that there's a lot of gear around right now and none of it's worth anything. Everything seems depressed. I think I'd look around a bit more. Good luck. Rod
