I'm looking at buying a 78 2-70 diesel. It's got a several issues that I haven't been able to find info on other places.
First off, the over/under is out of oil. It seems like it still works, but driving it was hard to tell because of stiffness between the throttle and 3spd levers. What kind of damage is done when those are run low on oil? How tough is it to find parts or where can I find them?
Second, the PTO doesn't shut off. What would cause that, and how tough are parts to locate.
The last big issue is almost no brakes. I know they aren't hard to repair, but is there anything I should know about them before buying it?
Any info or resources are appreciated.
