Haven't used old orange equipment in almost 20 years, and that was a WC. Just last week heard of a deal through the grape vine on a G that would be a good useful addition to our little farm. I'm told it's been stored inside for years, motor is free, but doesn't run. I'll be going to check it out this weekend. I'll be taking a battery and compression gauge. I know it's a tiny motor, but what are good numbers for compression?
What else goes wrong with these that I should look at and for? Transmission? Brakes? If I remember it right, seems I heard the axle splines can strip. How bad are parts to find, and where does one look (other than here )
Unless I can make a sweet offer, it probably won't come with implements as they indicated they want to keep spares for the other G's they have and use. I'll assume it will need new tires.
In the far more experienced wisdom here, what's a fair ballpark price if everything else seems sound, and what would be the deal breakers?
TIA
