I would get oil samples from the engine and the final drive hydraulics......Maintenance and service records..The hydrastatic drives are nice, however the control circuits on them are very complicated and the repair costs are very high. Check pins, bushings and track frame for wear and abuse.. The oil samples may cost you a couple hundred bucks, but it could save you 10000.00 or more in repairs..If there was trouble in the past and it wasn't flushed..look out...If it looks nice..don't be fooled...there are alot of polished turds out there...The old direct drive power shift are a little slower..but they are tough old birds...
