We jumped it across the solenoid and it started right up. Here's my critique: Engine runs well & oil looks good. PTO works. 3 Pt. Hitch DOES NOT. The multi-power has been removed - it will free wheel down hill. All gears seem ok. Has brakes. Power steering works but gets stiff at the extremes. The tires are like new. Again, no multi-power and 3 point hitch doesn't work.
