The x-owner told me it had sat for 15 years in a pasture. The engine is a 14hp kohler, but its stuck and no carb. All the levers and foot controls were stuck but with a little grease and penetrating oil i have them all moving freely now. All the pumps and pulleys move freely. Next is the engine- i'm thinking full rebuild on it even if the skid hydrolics don't work. The steering is all hydrostatic and the cylinders are ran off a seperate pump. Is there a way to test the steering pumps without having an engine? I'm new at this but i do have experience with small engines and some hydrolics. I just couldn't pass up the deal so i'm up for any and all advice that will lead me in the right direction.</p></blockquote><p></p>
