Mechanic considers engine in excellent condition. Leaks at front and rear seals, sing Lucas oil treatment.Do not plan to drop engine until the 100,000 mile mark to replace seals at same time as doing an engine rebuild in the future,not cost effective to drop engine just to replace front and real seals. Known issues, 1) doesn't always start on first turn of the key, ay take several turns of the key (local mechanic hasn't figured it out), 2) engine seal leaks discussed above not an issue, ust keep check on oil level monthly., 3) rebuilt carblow idle rpm can stall sometimes, hink dirt in carb(?),I am not a mechanic,,,but if your mechanic can't idle it up a remanufactured carb on ebay is $300,,,,My loss your gain,,,great around town and ranch vehicle. Have a new Polaris Ranger also, ono real need for the toy anymore.Low reserve of $4225. Any questions call or text 804-586-5331, sk for Steve. Located vicinity Petersburg Virginia.
