Looking at a 3205 tomorrow

The seller hinted at a "small" leak from the bottom of the deck gear box. Said he rebuilt it last summer, so I'm sorta cautious. Worst Case, what does a gear box cost? any known problems with this model to check out? Any advice/suggestions welcome.

I saw it today. The liquid cooled engine runs great! I don't think the gearbox is a big problem after running it for a while. Question on the hydraulic deck: Is the deck supposed to run suspended by the hydraulics or should it run on the castors? Owner said that it will gradually leak down if suspended.

I'm probably going to buy it.
