Hi All, Thanks for the continued advice. I've been looking for a backhoe to use around the property. Something I don't have to put too much into and will get decent 'homeowner' use out of. There is a MF 50C that has very low hours on the clock, like less than 1000. It looks to be reasonable that it is correct. Not much wear on the pedals and such. No smoke at all. Most of the seals on the rams have been replaced and the hoe is fairly tight. There is however 2 clear issues. One is the swing mechanism leaks fairly good, but I would imagine it's not a huge deal to fix or replace. The one that worries me is the transmission leak. Well, I assume its a trans leak. The cover plate between in the middle of the tractor has a steady stream of fluid that leaks out. Funny thing is the guy put fluid in right before I got there and over filled it and it was also comming out the brake actuator holes where they enter the frame on the rear axle housing. Any clue if these leaks are way too much to have fixed or indicate something awful? Thanks again, Keith
