Take a 1/2 drive ratchet and remove the plug behinf the bucket on the front of the chain case and check oil level and look for water contamination. (leaks in the chain case from the covers on top)Have a 3/4 wrench to lift the cab and check the angle drive fan gear box for leaves around the shaft where the v belt drives it from the engine. Look at the hydraulic vavle for leaks around the spools and under the cab for leak, check the foot pedal linkages for loose pins and wear (indication of hours) Also look over the linkage from the steering levers to the hydros. Often the aluminum levers will be loose on the top of the hydro.See if the machine tracks straight at full speed forward and reverse. Look at engine for smoke and blowby. See if it wants to creap forward or back when sitting still running with the park brake off.Ken</blockquote>
