Thought we could start a post where we share things we found to look for when buying.
I have been working on mine updating and refreshing things my previous owner did not do or chose to cut corners to do it.
With the deck cover off today, I noticed the bolts on my hydraulic rear motor was loose and it was moving every time I went forward or back. Make sure these bolts are tight. I suspect this is something you should check several times a year.
Also check the companion flange ( where the hydraulic motor attaches to the rear transmission)- make sure the bolts are tight and the ears are not broken. This is another item you need to periodically check to make sure these bolts are tight. the cost of the companion flange and slinger parts will be around $205 to $250 dollars.
