332, what to watch for

897 Views 3 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  coalminer16
I've got a line on a 332 with a Yanmar that has a new deck and m49 snow blower, hours unkown. I've got limited exposure to diesels, but am looking at a time in the not too distant future when all I'll have to run my 317 on is gas/ethanol mix and the resulting engine problems.

What should I be looking for when buying this unit. I would automatically check the oil condition, air filter condition, steering play, evidence of proper lubrication, transmission fluid condition and any creeping issues.

Do I need be concerned with glow plugs, fuel pump, injectors? If so, is there a quick way to check them out?

TIA

Not really, it either starts and runs or it doesn't. You can check glow plugs with a meter, but they aren't too terribly expensive if they are bad. You wouldn't even notice one or more was bad until the temperature got cold outside. Leaks 'can' be expensive to fix depending on what is leaking (like a power steering cylinder) so check carefully there.
