| Hour meter reading? You have to look at the Horse's TEETH. Hour meters aren't all that hard to reset, or replace.
Tenant on the place I used to rent a house picked up a low hour combine, maybe that model, and the first days of corn harvest it shelled out the bearings on the shaker table, then a slat came loose from the feeder house chain and got into the rotor. Let me tell you that slat in the rotor made a LOUD noise 3/4 mile away. I suspect that was hard on the rotor too. The wear on that combine was way more than should have been for the hours. I know the new owner spent many hours on the phone with the local dealer that sold it. One day after lunch he said, "I've been chewing for an hour and I'm still hungry." He had a different combine by the next harvest.
Look at the wear parts like feeder house chain and shaker bearings, belts, pedals, seat, control knobs, steering wheel, shredders and tires.
