I just ran across a 555G. It is an 89 by serial number. One track does not run. The UC is excellent-- 70% ish. It has not been run for a couple of years.
So, I went and looked at it today. No major leaks at cylinders, one minor leak. Oil is black, antifreeze is green, hyd. fluid is clean. It did not turn over, so I took the battery out of my truck. Throttle to 1/4 ish, and it cranked 6 times or so and ran for 5 seconds and shut off. Tried to restart, no go. Looked at tank, no cap on tank, so I quit trying. Obviously the tank needs draining, filter, etc. It also obvioulsy needs right side drive work.
He wants 4g. I offered him less. I know drive parts can be $$. But can it also be an easy fix? (meaning under 2g or so?)
Farm use. Maybe 100 hours a year.
What do I need to check?
Thanks
Steve
