[QUOTE="pls1911, post: 100850, member: 12380"] Very late reply, but applies to a lot of folks. Obviously, interior and exterior appearance can tell a story of care and simple use, or flagrant abuse, or lipstick on a pig. ...Beware of freshly painted pigs... Start, run, and drive... check drive line chain slop.. look where folks don't normally clean, check the air filter, check the oil (oil I've seen in a few with only 1000 hours on them have been like tar.... probably run hard never changed!) If you do a thorough 1000 hour service check point inspection and it comes out reasonable, and it operates fine, you can reasonably expect to have a good machine. Anything less diligent, and you've bought a lottery ticket that oinks... good luck. [/QUOTE]
