It's a diesel, and it runs great. Another guy had looked at it before I bought it, and he wouldn't touch it because of the hours. I looked it over, and figured that a former owner must have pulled the throttle back to shut off the fuel, and left the key on more than once. The hour meter will happily click away with the key on and the engine off. With regular oil changes, I'm sure that I'll never wear this machine out. The general condition of the engine bay, hydraulic hoses, tires, etc. mean more to me than the age or hours. Good Luck, Jerry</p></blockquote><p></p>
