Check the boom over carefully for cracks and twisting. Pins on the adapter plate as they could well need replacing at this point. Get if off the ground and check the wheels for slop both in the bearings and chains. Operate it if you can and get it hot. Make sure the hydro isn't lazy.... I think that one is also a 2 speed so check that out. Tires will cost you about a grand for good ones. Less for the chinese ones. Also check that all the electrics work.... If the seat sensors or belt buckle are bad it won't start or won't run the hydraulics because of the lockouts.... and lastly, consider that the instrument panel COULD have been changed some time ago due to a failure. They do sometimes fail... and thus you may have far, far more hours than it shows. Also check over the hydraulic lines. Mainly the loader lines. I found that when they started going, they all blew in short order. That's not a serious thing but it adds up to some money pretty quick. This machine seems cheap to me actually... so it may be discounted because of something or it may simply be a poor market for them now in your area... or it may be a poor machine in a poor market that isn't sufficiently discounted for what it is. Look it over carefully.
I have an LS170 myself which is 1 size smaller than this one. It's a very able machine for it's size. I don't think you can go wrong with a superboom if everything works on it. They're good loaders.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
