You reckon I made mistake? Was at auction Sat. 2440 bid off at 4000 dollars plus 10% auction commission. Tractor was kinda rough shape body wise. Rust on hood fiberglass hood had some dings in it. Tractor cranked good, seemed to run alright. Live pto worked, brakes held ok. I did'nt see any major leaks anywhere to speak of. Bottom of left front axle was cracked but no significant damage, looked like tractor had hit something and piece had broken off. Did'nt appear to effect steering any and power steering seemed alright too. However, upon closer inspection the forward reverse gearshift on left side could be pulled completely out with your hand. Course you could also put it right back in. Someone had slid foam cover down over gear shift lever which looked to me like they were trying to hide it. Know this not good. But Would this be indicative of major problem. My guess, was tractor probably used by landscaper or state in some capacity. Also at back end, not the tansmission plug which you add transmission gear oil but one higher which you screw off with hand. That reservoir did not have any fluid in it. Not sure what it was for? Hydraulic remotes maybe. ould any of you been scared of this machine or You reckon I ought to have gone 4100. Auctioneer sure gave me the chance. Most of my experience is with 3000 Ford and 140 Int. Don't know whole lot about John Deere and only novice mechanic. Based on what I've said and holding you fellows to nothing. Reckon, I made right call? ... Closer inspection might have revealed lot more wrong? Course won't nothing covered by pretty coat of paint... Thanks
