Hi John Deere gurus! New to this forum, although i have gotten a great deal of useful info from the Oliver Forums and users.
Can any of you knowledgeable folks provide any info or opinions on the subject tractor/loader?
I am looking at buying a GAS loader tractor and this one has come up for sale.
Diesel fumes make me sick, thus the gas requirement.
They are asking 7K$ for the 1020 gas JD Tractor (unknown Hrs, supposedly no leaks- have sent the following questions on more details), Allied loader(model unknown now) and 7' mower (make model unknown at this time)
Here are the questions i have sent to the owner:
1. Can you take a picture of the tractor and manuf. loader tag (which usually shows mdl, s/n etc.) and email to me?
2. Hours on the tractor? Is hour meter working?
3. Picture of the gage panel.
4. Any issues with the tractor loader or mower that need replacing, repair, work, or that does not operate as it should?
5. Make/model of the mower?
6. Does the tractor smoke or burn oil?
7. Do you have any information on the level of maintenance performed on the tractor when owned for ?? years by your husbands friends father?
8. Can you take a few more pictures showing: a) full Lt. and Rt. Side view of tractor/loader b) full view of rear of tractor/loader c) full front view of tractor/loader?
9. I know I asked but just want to be sure that there are not engine/transmission or hydraulic leaks on the loader?
I have included a few pics fyi.
Seems a little high on the price but would like your opinion of the tractor,loader, mower as far as durability, and quality, and amount of maintenance these tractors typically require and a fair price.
Any recommendations, info or advice is welcome.
Thanks,
