IRWIN: One word of caution on your later model L-35. There is a zerk fitting on the front drive-shaft tube, or close proximity. Don't over service it, and wait for grease to be exposed. It maybe in your manual, if you have one?
Anyhow, too much grease will result in the grease by-passing a seal resulting in grease being mixed into the hydraulic fluid, effecting the loader and backhoe operation. My '95 doesn't have the zerk. You may want to do a search for the thread for caution. It was posted, I think less than a year ago on your vintage L-35.
The photo looks like it was well taken care. Also when using it on hard surfaces; avoid tight turns, which will cause fast wear, (skidding) on the outside tire on the front only. This is in the archives here, under REVIEWS, and I verify it! Enjoy your new machine.
