Looking at a fairly clean 1999 jd 4300 w/ fel, hst, 4wd, and box blade. Asking price is 11,900 and tractor has 500 hrs. Test drove and she sounds good. Is a little transmission whine okay on an hst? Owner is very honest; I spotted some oil under rear end, and he said I should have the dealer look at it before we finalize. This is my first post. Oh, I have 5 ac.

Welcome to tractor point rkleypas! $11,900 is a very good price for the 4300. If I would let the owner have his dealer check out the leak if he volunteered to do this. Might want to ask the dealer mechanic what he thinks of the machine. This is a first year model so be sure all the PIP's (product improvement program) modifications have been properly done. If you plan to use the machine to cut grass; make sure the front axle PIP has been applied. (earlier front axles had a tendency to tear up turf do to the steering geometry of the axle) The leak may be nothing to worry about by then again it could be more serious. Best to let him check it out. Test demo the tractor for at least 20 to 30 minutes to get it up to full operating temp (at full pto rpm with an implement such as a mower or cutter if possible). This should identify any other leaks or mechanical issues. If all is in order; looks like you have a good deal on your hands. ....
