    What are you looking for? As with anything out of warranty, anything can take a dump, and it's all the owners problem then. General inspection, does it have leaks, do the planetaries and swing gear have oil in them? Is the oil aerated? Do the pumps sound cavitating? Is there any drifting? Has the wiring been "fixed"? etc

    Thanks. i was looking for anything specific to the model,series or year. about how many hours should i expect a main hydraulic pump to last under normal circumstances? did deere use alot of electronics in 1992? were there specific cracking problems on the frame or any other assembly
