When I stuck my finger in the radiator I was able to lift a finger full of oil like sludge. The guy who is selling it tells me he has owned it for 22 years and because of his age he could no longer mow with it because he was banged around too much driving it. He has a brand new John Deere sitting next to it. He also told me he has been driving the tractor with the oil in radiator for over two years?
