    rear view mirrors?

    IMO< the best thing you can add is a decent back up camera, there not that costly and can be pretty simple to add and allows you see what your about to run over, I have sadly backed into a few things myself over the yrs, due to poor set up on mirrors on most machines I have run! Hell some...

    Buy a Case 440-3 with some corrosion?

    many reasons why the outside looks good, is that's what people see and tend to take care of most just like cars in salt belt, you can have a spotless exterior and then get under the vehicle and find things are beyond passing an inspection and down right dangerous! people only clean and wash...

    grease fitting stuck

    if you have the ability to SPIN the pin a little, it might then allow it to take grease, and while grease zerk is out, try and pick the hole clean, or even add a tad bit of heat, not too much as grease can spit back at you once hot! so be safe ! and also, if you raise or lower arm, it may take...

    Buy a Case 440-3 with some corrosion?

    just my 2 cents, IMO I gather this machine was towed a lot on salty roadways, thus why all the rust inside engine bay and just was never washed well afterwards that said, RUST will only keep getting worse, making removing anything rusted harder and worse, cause bolt heads to snap off and or...

    its an older machine, hose's all age and sooner or later leak or need replacing before they do once machine is clean, you can do a much better assessment on condition of so many things, and that will then help you maybe prevent new leaks, pl;us find current leak if there is one your oily mess...

    873G covered in oil

    yes I understood what you meant by oil every where, like I said, when a hose blows, it can get every where FAST, there is a ton of pressure in them hoses and when one gets a hole or leak, things happen fast and large amounts of fluid can get out and on things fast, pending HOW fast the operator...
