I am looking at a 1999 JD 345 with less than 70 hours on it. Since the machine is about 10 years old, should I have any concerns with the lack of use? From what I understand it was used for two seasons and then the owner was disabled and could no longer use it.
The owner has stated that the tractor was prepared and stored by a dealer. Is there anything I should be looking for when checking out the tractor? Some of the use has been recent so I know that currently everything is operating properly.
Do any of you JD enthusiasts have pointers or tests/checks that I can perform to be relatively confident that the machine is in good condition? I am most concerned with the engine and transmission. Thanks for your help!
