Oil & Fuel If the tractor set for 6-8 months should oil / fluids be changed?

easygo,
If the diesel and fluids were good when the tractor was parked, they will be fine now. There shouldn't be anything wrong with either one of them. I would change them after 10 hours or so after purchase. I do that on all engines or equipment that I buy used even if they have just change it. That way it has what I want in it and I can check for metal shavings.

I agree with Fug1000 in that I'd find out for sure if the 50 hour service was done. Also, a dealer who wants to sell a tractor with only 75 hours on it with no warranty would worry me. I would be concerned that either the dealer knows nothing about the tractor or does and wants to wash his hands of it. I've learned to never fall in love with anything if the deal isn't what I want. In this case, I'd tell the dealer no warranty, no sale. From there, you can negotiate the 100 hour service, etc..

The B7510 turf special is mechanically identical to the regular B7510. It just has turf tires and the suspended mower. Neither the turf special nor the standard tractor come with an FEL and that can be added to either.

Thank you all for the quick responses. I changed my focus over the past few days from a 7510 to a 7510 turf special (both have mowers no FEL but I have been taking price with the FEL added) The hours are very similar on both, but after reading here all I could find about the turf special I decided that it would be a much better mowing deck on my fairly bumpy 2 acre yard. I'm ready to go to the dealership this morning to do final talking and hopefully signing papers. Your input was VERY helpful. Wish me luck.
