I have an H and I checked the following stuff. Engine compression, 90 psi out of all 4 cylinders. look for welds and/or cracks in the block,transmission, and rearend. is it tough to start, how is that steering mechanism. throttle control, response and stuff, all 5 gears work, 5th gear may stall the motor-you may have to be on a decline to start going in the 5th road gear, which is 15mph. rust through on the tin and seat. For the hydraulics, look for leaks, response of controls, overheating, this would apply to the engine too. make sure all the controls work with full range of travel. Drain out fluid from the engine and hydraulic system check for water or other non petroleum. Fluid level in the transmission is indicated by a small 1/4 pipe plug on the side which is the overfill indicator. The trans holds 24 quarts of 90 weight. the engine holds 6 quarts. the radiator holds 4.2 gallons. test drive and let run for a good 30 minutes or so. Good luck and let us know. You should be paying 2000 to 3000 or so I guess.
