Thanks everyone for the valuable information. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures I can post.
The seller did a paint job after getting the tractor. It was disassembled at the time, ready to be painted but the person hadn't gotten to it. The seller did say he couldn't confirm the 700 hrs. There is a 5 foot shredder that comes with it. I'd like to operate a box blade with it, which he thought wouldn't be a problem. The seller will allow me to try the tractor and implements for a few days before finalizing my decision on purchasing.
I will review everyone's posts and ask the critical questions, as well as look at those specific items.
Thank you again and I'll let everyone know the outcome. I'm a middle school principal and raise cattle on the side, but this tractor wouldn't be the main one for any plowing/planting winter grazing or feeding round bales. My son can do that with his larger JD.
