In talking with him, he told me all hyraulic functions were working.... "no lifting" in his ad seems to mean with your back...

Beyond that, thanks for all the advice. The paint job is what we called a "Earl Scheib" when I was a kid.... they'd paint about anything for $29.95.

Pneumatic tires to me are a plus just because there is gravel to negotiate outside the shop. Guessing I'll be looking for something better, I can probably pay cash for something up to $4-5,000. Don't really want a payment book as it will sit quite often. Thanks again.
