[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 134834, member: 13825"] 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 things to strip SO< how good are you with a torch and or welder to remove and get out broken bolts ?? I own many things much much older in better shape,, So, unless you have your heart set on this machine,(and again are good with added steps, welding/torch, and lots of cursing, Haha!, as when bolts break and are rust frozen on to thing your going to need them skills) I think I would pass and keep looking, better machines are out there for the price your in IMO! I think the low hours might be making you want it more than condition its in are showing its real worth! [/QUOTE]
