before you do ANYTHING, check the oil. is it kinda mucky looking? like a chocolate milkshake sort of? if so, there's coolant in the oil. at that point, the bearings are toast.
yup he has antifreeze in oil, didnt even think of that
I think he is going to try to trade it, it has electrical problems and a couple other issues too but I cant remember what they are. As far as working on it I dont care it isnt mine not my money
If I had to move it from my garage, I can pull it out with my tractor.
