[QUOTE="jameslmarchetti70@gmail.c, post: 134812, member: 24475"] As for what to look for? Check to see if the engine is putting out a charge to maintain the battery. I say this because some have electric clutches that engage the Hyd. Motors and if that Alternator or stator is bad it will not charge the battery and the electric clutches will not work all the time. If it has electric clutches. Other than that, I agree look for engines that fit and are not to large for the system. There is no need to over power it. If the Unit works well as it sits now go get it. Also check the Hyd rods for pitting or damage when extended.. Cracked welds and all that good stuff. If its a fair price you can enjoy this for many years. Try lifting a weight of some sort to make sure it still lifts. Check the hydraulic oil to make sure it smells like oil not burnt. Oil leaks and so on. Like a car basically. Try turning on a dirt road to make sure it turns or has the power to turn. Noises that do not sound right also. [/QUOTE]
