I'm looking at a 1992 580 Super K, EROPS, Extand-a-hoe at an auction this weekend. It is being sold off by a local utility company. It is described as in "fair" condition, and from the one photo it looks as if its probably been somewhat cannibalized. The tires look good.
It has a "bad" engine (no further description)
What should I be looking for on this unit? Obviously if it won't run all I can do is visual. I know to look for rust on hydraulic pistons, and physical damage, but is there anything in particular on these units?
Also, what, if anything, tends to fail in these engines? How hard is it to access and disassemble the engine? Will I have to separate the entire unit into halves, or does the engine come out of the frame?
Any other input/advice??
Thanks
Gregg
