No, there is no reason for you to need to baby this tractor. To be candid it looks to me like there are a lot of rough treatment indicators with this machine. Too much wrong for a 200 hour machine. I recommend you get it to a dealer, request a once-over and have it fixed right once and for all. With such low hours I am assuming you want to keep it quite a long time.

I agree.
I did check hour meter and it’s working so I feel that the hours after right. But I am pretty certain that my initial assessment is correct: the guy that I bought it from used it like a bull in a China shop to clean and grub out a few acres and then sold it once he no longer had a need for it. Not that he hid this either. He pretty much admitted to it.

The line that is leaking if I remember correctly on my B1700, had issues for many and was replaced with a better made one. The leak is on the metal tube as it enters the larger metal banjo section.

Correct. That’s what I’ve seen from dinner other threads here. Definitely gonna replace. Calling dealer this morning.
