new guy need quick opinion

[wilson co]

have been lurking for a while... great site.

Just located and tested out a 1986 L2850 with BF500 FEL and 4560 BH

It appears to be a solid tractor. The issues are around the FEL and BH. Every pin in the thing seems loose.

So I am currently at $8500.00 and I'm wondering if I am going to spend a fortune replacing pins and bushings on this unit AND where can I find all these parts?

It has all the manuals and 3PH setup too.

Any advice? may pickup this week.

Thanks
Rog

TTT I'm a newb, but I think I gave enough info... ps just under 1800hrs on it.

Used pricing from local wholesalers seems to prove that 8k will get you just the tractor, so I guess it's a fair deal.

any other advice?
