    Just to add to the list; I always check the air filters, hours on fuel and oil filters among a few other things. Matching oil and fuel filter hours usually indicates that they change them together instead of being cheap and saving on the fuel filter , which can shorten the life of the pump. If an air filter is new ( possible red flag), filthy ( definite red flag). Good job guys

    The best phrase I've heard of when looking at used items is that they look "used but not abused"

    @andrewclarkehomeimprovement 2 года назад +50

    With the Deere, you don't need to worry about getting dirt in the pin bushings. They're so sloppy, dirt and grit will fall straight out.

    That 270D undercarriage is textbook “Run to destruction” territory. I figure the pump is bad too. It would have to go cheap - but nothing does anymore.
