[QUOTE="mllud, post: 19337, member: 1012"] Jimmy Its great that they stand behind what they sell. Your problems dont sound too serious. No matter what you buy in a 2000 hour machine you should expect something to need some attention.Fairly low hours.Maybe they will give you a good deal on the chains. If the drive pumps are strong and lift and tilt feel good, and Engine sounds good you should be able to work through some smaller problems.You should be able to tell if it was maintained, or abused. One thing I learned is they arent cheap to repair and every hour running cost more than just fuel. Take care of it and hopefully it will take care of you. They are awsome machines. Welcome to the forum. If you read down thru some of the New Holland post there is some good information.Also reading the other brands posts is good. There is a lot about skid steers that is similar. Mostly the hydraulics. New Holland sells their repair manuals in about 6 books. The first one you would want is the Operators Manual. I think it was about $40. I have the Operators Manual,Engine repair manual, The Hydraulic Repair Manual And the Hydrostatic System and Steering System system Manual.Their books are well written and they sell you the same books the mechanics at the dealer use. They pay for themself quickly.The Phone number to order the Manuals is 1800-635-4913. They will want the serial number and model number. Mike [/QUOTE]
