What happens here
Examine the steering knuckles and tie rods for excessive play or damage, indicating wear. Evaluate the overall cleanliness of the tractor; a clean exterior often suggests good internal maintenance. Check all fuel lines for leaks or cracks. To detect subtle leaks, place a piece of cardboard underneath the tractor while it's running and observe for any drips of oil, fuel, or hydraulic fluid. Also, test the tightness and responsiveness of the pedals, ensuring they are not wobbly or loose.
Goal: Evaluate the general condition, identify potential leaks, and check pedal functionality
