My dad bought one new in 76'. Traded it in 78'. We encountered several problems. Tilt steering was prone to develop leaks. We figured out not to use the tilt feature. The hydraulic fittings used rubber rings to clamp down on the tube. They were prone to blow out. You had to replace fitting if this happened. Cronic overheater. Had to be split for clutch repair the first year. Saw it on the dealer's lot several times as a trade in.

Several guys I know have had them or the 9700. They have had problems with the giant u-bolts in the rear wheels getting loose and stripping the hub out. The dual power is expensive to rebuilt. The shift linkage can get funky.

Some guys swear by them. They are fuel efficient, and the 401 engine is very good. It all depends on how the machine has been kept. The guys I know that kept them always had a bucket of new fittings and front hub bolts.
