Offer him £500 on the grounds that the oilways will be blocked and it's only worth breaking ... then do a few rapid oil changes .. every 1000 ... and see how it goes ..  :)

For the right price it could be a bargain, but don't pay to much as problems can come with a motor like this  :)

I wouldn't break about, put some of that flush straight in it.  We know these little tinkers can get sludged up, and we know the result...

Go for it, and give it the treatment as already said.

In fact, I've just got back from getting 'markseth' a really tidy T-reg CD saloon tractor. Came with tax and MoT - all I could find is drivers door check-strap and broken NS fog light. Absolutely flew home though running a tad cool, so I'll have it into the workshop next week, and give it a damn good 'going over'.

Needless to say, we're both well chuffed ...... !
