Now that i have your attention i need some help. I looked at a used jd 790 at dealership sunday(closed)unknown year serial#lvo7906401332. (i plan to be there at 7:30AM tomorrow.) My question this tractor only has 78 hr. on it,and wheather it went several years sitting in a barn or worse--outdoors --if it was not started and run through its paces several times a year can i expect problems down the road because of this? 4 WD W/loader. $11000.00

There is aways that chance but I think it would be unlikely and my guess would be that it will run just fine. I would suggest having the dealer hook up an implement such as a RRM to the tractor and go run the tractor around the dealer area at full pto rpm for about a half hour or so. This will put a significant load on pretty much everything and if there are problems; they would be most likely to show up during this test run. Be sure to cycle the hydraulic on the FEL and run the 4WD too. Any leaks would most likely show up here. Be sure to take a look at the oil and coolant in the radiatior afterwards to ensure all is well too. As soon as you get the tractor home, replace ALL the fluids and filters to establish a known maintenance baseline. The 790 is a road solid and bullet proof machine that is rarely prone to problems. ....
