hello green fellas,
my dads old 455 has died, the guy he deals with has another 455 he will sell him for 4500 and give hime 1000 for the dead deere. make out with a used 455 for 3500 plus tax. my question is other than the obvious things to look for what else should i look for in this next one? He bought the dead one w/ out me seeing it and it had a bad case of "blow by", very week trans, and 2500 hours on it. I never would have bought it in the first place. After all the problems he has had the past 20 years with j/d they were not my first choice when i went out to buy my equipment. i would like to know if you guys with 455 experience can give me a heads up on aqnything else to look for. my dads 74 now and id like to help him as much as possible.
thanks fellas
