Around 1990 I purchased a small HST Kubota. iirc it was only 17hp but I had a Woods backhoe on it. I can't remember the model number but the 17hp I'm pretty sure of because my lawn tractor was 1hp more 
. I sold it with very low hours after I did the work around our new house.
Fast forward to the present. The person I sold it to (an old friend who is an electrician) called a month or so ago.Their son went to use it after many years of storage in their barn and it apparently dumped a lot of 'oil' when they tried to start it. I offered what suggestions I could but in the end suggested they get it to a dealer.
I'm looking for a tractor I can use to mow our 1+ acre lawn so thought this might be a solution. I just called them and they may be interested in selling. It has lived its life in their barn. It was never taken to a dealer to see what the issue is so there's that. I'm pretty confident this machine has <250 hours on it.
When we get back to CT next month I'll take a look at it. Assuming there is oil in the engine I'd like to try turning it over with a jump just to sure it's not seized up. Other than that and mice doing a job on the wiring, any suggestions for what I should look for?
