Yeah I bought a basket case and I figured just about every could go wrong. So before I buy the Repower Specialist kit, I need to determine what was the engine rotation and does the drive system work. I guess the engine could be a clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation. I was thinking taking the tires off and rotating the input shaft with a impact driver. Maybe loosen a fitting or two to see if oil is moving in the proper direction. Whats got me worried is the fact that the 720 rolls if you push it. Could be the high pressure relief valves have been removed or maybe it is just low on hydraulic fluid. Just trying to assess the problems before I throw a bunch of money at it. Not normally a lucky guy but I can head off trouble by paying attention.
