[QUOTE="Markle, post: 132463, member: 19357"] Good deal for sure. I have the F series and it’s been a workhorse. Some things to know: Always get the engine down to idle before shutting off. The turbo needs oil and if you shut the engine off at high rpm the turbo can starve for oil. If it hasn’t already, the plastic pickup tube in the fuel tank will suddenly and unexpectedly break off inside. Symptom=machine just shuts down like it ran out of fuel…duh. The fix is not difficult, just very hard to reach and blind to see. I’m sure this fix is in the archives here. Those cloth over rubber diesel fuel return lines don’t last long as very close to muffler. Keep extra hose on hand. Mine get changed every 100-150 hours. Case drain filters are important to clean or replace. And check drive belt idler pulley tension. I’ve had to change the idler pulley once as the old one disintegrated. Good luck with your machine.
