The tranmission fluid changes must be done and the planatary brake bands adjusted by the book. If the machine was used in loader work the torque reversals can tear up the splines and rivets in the torque converter. Do a search on selecto speed and sos in the upper right hand corner. As far as the diesel is concerned you do want to get one with the crankshaft counter balancers. The early ones were without. Grinding the crank is not an option on overhauls, they tend to break, more so with out the balancer. We had a 851 gasser, and what a beast it was, for its size. Went over 9000 hours without a major overhaul. Chopped corn and baled hay for 10 years. Great little tractor. Diamond in the serial number indicates it has sleeves.
