[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 35467, member: 82"] The milky chain case oil is an issue and needs to be changed. Its not a super hard job, but it does take a little work. The gauges is probably a blown fuse or a bad fuse holder in the dash. They corrode and fall apart. The connector between the harnesses do go too, its down the left side behind the rops. Gauges are available from the dealer. If its still tight and starts/runs well its probably worth it. They are a very simple machine, no electronics to worry about. Just get the chain case done. You need to drain the 30 odd litres of oil, mop the sludge out and re-fill with engine grade oil, cheap stuff is fine here. Even if you drain the hydraulics, you can use that oil in there if its not white from water contamination. You can even fluck it a little by draining the oil, re-filling and move the arms up and down, tilt etc then drain more and re-fil. Use the oil that came out in the chain case. It may pay to jack the wheels off the ground and feel for end float. This is a sign of bearing wear if they move in and out. Hopefully they are sill tight though and a simple oil change will do the trick. Good luck on your purchase. [/QUOTE]
