Hey guys, ran across this machine for $15,500. Guy has had it 6 years. Seems like ut could be a good machine for me. I'm tempted to make an offer on it. How hard are drive seals to replace?
"Both drive seals have a leak. Just didn't leak bad enough to fix. All other hydraulic hoses i replaced when I purchased it. Most were cracked or checked from age of machine. Haven't had any issues with it for the work I've used it for"

Thoughts?

Anybody know if the final drive seals came be easily replaced or if it would most likely need new final drives?

Be mindful that a 2001 model is 25 years old. It only takes one stroke of a pen from someone in a corporate office to declare that old not supported anymore. Have seen some 20 year old with some parts no longer available.

Kubota parts a super easy to check on. Maybe all dealers have this but just go to Messck’s web site. Enter the model number and look at the exploded diagram. They’ll have the price and availability right there.

To me that looks like a good deal. Kubota is excellent generally for parts support.
