COMMENT
OPERATORS AREA: Tidy. The vinyl seat upholstery is in good condition - LH arm rest does not lock into place. The quick-spin knob has broken off the steering wheel and some warning light lenses are missing. Most of the instruments are in good condition however there is a small chip in the temperature gauge glass and the speedo gauge has clouded over. The plastic dash cover is broken at the RH side but still operates. Paint worn off the floor panel. EXTERIOR PANELS: Tidy - no significant rust or damage. The rear grille has endured a couple of knocks and the original engine latches have been replaced with rubber ones. Paintwork presentable - a little faded with usual heavy scrapes and rubs along the lower forecarriage. FUNCTIONAL EQUIPMENT: Two speed vibration operates well in both positions. MECHANICAL: The machine does not drive. The vendor informs that a horrible crunching noise was heard coming from the front drum drive before the machine was parked up. On an attempt to move the unit an awful whining noise could be heard from the drum drive but there was not even a flicker of hope to get the machine moving. Engine work dirty but no visible leaks. Started well and ran smoothly with clean emission. There is a small exhaust leak at the flexi pipe. There is some oil residue around the hydraulic motors near the rear axle - the bottom of the middle motor is wet with oil - unable to determine source. Generally appears a tidy machine and should make a worthwhile rebuild project for someone who can economically repair or replace the faulty drive motor.
