Is this a good deal?

Saw this one and was curious if this is a deal. Reading the add got curious about what else other than the engine did he not check.

He blew up a 466 the only way you can, run it out of oil.

There are a couple legitimate ways those old girls can pump out the oil real quick. I saw a low idle adjustment capsule fall out of injection pump,(that is why they added the miserable snap ring on it inside). Oil filters have been known to let go also among other things.

A local farmer bought a new 1270 CASE about 40 years ago and took very good care of it. During tractor's 2nd year, owner changed oil and began spring plowing. Problem was that oil filter leaked (twisted rubber gasket, Maybe two gaskets, maybe not tight enough, not sure of exact cause). Problem didn't happen right away. He plowed into the very late night and didn't notice oil running down the sides of the brand new filters. Run out of oil, engine seized up and required a complete overhaul at owner's expense.

Ask Allen what else can go wrong.

Been more than one who has put on new oil filters and never noticed the old gasket sticking to the filter base. Guy locked up his 1066 just that way. Tried to blame NAPA filter for having two gaskets but that didn't fly. Not engine oil, but customer of ours pumped the transmission dry to the point power steering quit when using a orbit motor applying fertilizer with 5088. No external leak so his land was oiled below the surface. Then , same guy, pulls in to the shop one day with a leak at aux filter on the 5088. I pulled the filter and found two gaskets. I told him the bonehead who changed the filter didn't make sure no gasket had stuck to housing. He calmy says, you changed it. I looked at him and said, yaa, I know, that is why I was pretty sure I cold get away calling someone a bonehead. I refilled his transmission and sent him on his way.
