Question about used 2002 Bobcat 773G
I am looking to buy a used Bobcat 773G from a friend. It has ~1700 hours on. It came with the house he bought a year ago, so he has limited knowledge about it. He also is not very mechanically inclined. He had a full service done at the dealer a year ago and had anything they found fixed. It runs great.
The only thing that gives me pause is I noticed some oil film on top of the chain case when I lifted the cab up to inspect underneath. Didn't see any weeping or dripping hoses. No source of the oil stood out to me.
Maybe a seal is letting some fluid mist blow by, or maybe a clogged vent causing pressure?
I'm not well-versed in skid steers and any advice is appreciated. I just don't want to end up with an immediate large bill if I need to bring it to the dealer.
I'm very mechanically inclined, but these things are heavy and there are lots of tight spaces.
