I'm well versed on parts for relics.  I own a bunch of 3 wheeled atvs lol. I don't have anyone to go with me to look at the deere.  Cosmetically it's not the best looking. Paint is faded and rust scratched, cab took a small hit on top front it seems and the front enclosure door is missing.  My concern is the engine. I keep reading that the deere 4024t engine was hit or miss.  I don't know anything about it to know what it should be.  Don't want to get a lemon. It has 2300 hrs on it. I've seen a lot of 317 models with 4-6000 hours on them.  But $7500 is an amazing price for that skidsteer so the too good to be true factor kicks in.  Guy I spoke with says he bought it to resell and had to replace some lines and the seat. Makes me think then what did he get it for and why.  Says it runs well and operates.   I am mechanically inclined but what can I really check for besides fluids and unusual noises.</p></blockquote><p></p>
