it sounds like a pretty good deal as is... Does it have just the stock 1 rear remote, or are there two sets and two levers to operate them? There are not a whole lot of other options. You could ask for a filter set. They little horizontal Hydrostatic filter on the tractors left side is very expensive.

Well, one way to tell if it was done, is to try to take the vertical hydraulic filter off by the right rear tire. If it takes all of your strength, and most of your curse words, to get the dang thing unscrewed, you will know it was put on by the factory gorilla. If it comes off pretty easy, well someone already went thru that ordeal. The filters aren't painted over like the Kubota's are. As near as I can tell. so it is kinda hard to tell just by looking at them. You will need a good big chain wrench for that right side hydraulic filter. It is a real SOB. The hydrostatic filter and the oil filter are no big deal usually. you need to at least clean the air filter too. maybe replace. The fuel filter needs looking at.

If the dealer can provide a record of having done the 50 hr service, on paper with the hours evident, then you're all set.
I believe the OEM factory hydrostat filter is grey or black and the replacement ones are a yellowish color. That would be easier to verify, especially if you check a brand new tractor on the lot, instead of wrestling with the filter to see if it removes easily.:confused3:

My original Hydrostat filter was also the same Ocher/yellow color as the replacement. The horizontal high pressure hydrostat filter on the left side was easy to remove. The vertical hydraulic filter on the right side is the one that is tough to remove. I am not suggesting that you should try to remove the filter to determine if the 50 hour was done or not, as when you try to remove the filter, you will likely damage it. My point is that it will be very difficult to determine if the 50 hour was done or not, unless someone kept records of it.
