Looking at one tomorrow. This machine is clean with no issues, (ya right ;))

Things I will try 1) starts easily without eather, block heater? 2) hrydraulics work and have power to lift machine at idle, inspect for leaks 3)runs and drives well with plenty of power, put against tree and see if it will spin tires 4)check loader and hoe for welds, cracks and general worthiness, and leak down 4)check color of exhaust for smoke through the rpm range, whiteness 5)check tires and steering, kingpins and steering pump 6) test brakes 7)check altenator and wiring harness for power, gauges, hours lights 8)check oils, color, smell 9)engine in general and radiator 10)??? what am I forgetting :Banghead

Thanks guys :drinkup :notworthy
