I'm going to see a '48 H on Saturday. I have about 2 hours with it to figure out what kind of condition it's in. What I know from the owner is that he bought it not running as a future project he has been unable to get to. He says he knows the engine is free (unstuck) and that it has good compression. I'd like to build a checklist of things to look for to determine mechanical condition. He's asking $800, and already told me that price isn't negotiable. So I need to ensure I am not buying a worse headache than I already have. In a previous post it was suggested that I pull the tractor along to test the transmission. I'm not sure I'll have he ability or time to do that, but I will try. What else should I be checking for?
