Larrylou,
Congrats!!! Good luck with the machine.
As others have said, the boom will normally drift over time...that is not a problem. Quickly drifting is.
The machine I purchased had comparable hours to yours. I was concerned that the fluids may have gotten moisture in them from condensation. I now have a benchmark on all the fluids, and I know a lot more about the machine as I put eyes and hands on it. Lube it well as well using a high quality grease. Again, this will cause you to put eyes on just about every part of the machine...dont forget the fittings under the machine (axle pivot, etc.) either.
