2007 Case DX45 Hydro rattles and vibrates above 1500 rpm

[holtzacres]

I was looking at buying a used Case DX45 with cab and hydro. Went to test drive it and when I raised the rpm above 1500 rpm or so it started rattling and you could feel the vibration coming thru the hydro pedals. Motor seemed to run well and hydro seemed to wok fine, but the rattling/vibration I thought was bad. the seller said it was always like that and he bought from a Case dealer. I have had a New Holland TC35DA and New Holland Boomer 3045 with Cab, both hydros and I don't remember those tractors rattling/vibrating like this one did. The rattling seemed to come from all the brake and hydro pedal linkages underneath the cab, but you could definitely feel the vibration also. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem. It only has 550 hours and cost is around $17500 which I think is good price, but I don't want to buy and trouble or expensive repairs. Any help would be appreciated. Thx

I replied to the thread in the NH section, but reading this again made me think that perhaps there is a mount that is loose. Anyway, same advice, have a look under it.
