I have a good friend that has a mid 80's D8K he bought for doing some grading on his property. He is going in for hip replacement and has asked me to check it over, finish off the grading and try to rent it out if possible.
First question is a doozy, where do you add engine oil? What I thought was the oil fill just spins so I guess it's a breather. I have greased all the visible zerk fittings, are there any that are hidden or hard to access? I am not sure about previous maintenance so what should be checked and what should be changed?
What are rental rates for something this size and how would you go about getting the info out to the farmers or contractors in the area.
All information and suggestions appreciated.
