deere 27 zts good deal needs engine rebuild??

[ragerider]

I'm in the market to buy a mini hoe and found a deere 27 zts 2000 model with 2200 hours full cab but uses oil smokes it has an Isuzu 3ld2 engine I'm guessing the rings were wiped out. There asking 10 k for it how does this sound I'm thinking of offering 8k and if they take it pull the engine and rebuild it myself and ideas or opinions??

Good day rage rider
To rebuild a small modern diesle engine with the perception of new piston rings solving a oil burn issue may well fall on stony ground. Often small engines are built to a price, the idea to rebuild the engine normally will exceed the cost of new. If you consider that the issue can be worn valve stems - turbo when fitted are some of the known cause for blue smoke and oil consumption. Estimate complete engine replacement in your offer.
