Anyone have a Balerus 562?

[saltbranch]

I am in the process of buying an 1988 Balerus 562, 4x4 w/frontend loader, 1495 hrs. Getting from a friend who upgraded to Kabota. The old tractor seems to run good and has a good history. I have read the comments against these tractors and understand. I have called a few places I found online that sell parts getting pricing and availabilty on starters, altenators, filters, u-joints, radiators..pricing seems doable for me along with downtime for shipping etc.. Its a weekend place a 100 miles from home, will be used for basic maintenence, not for making a living.
What was your experience with the 562? Known weak points? that type of stuff.
Thx
