Holy low hour machine batman! 1151 hours is hardly broken in.

I see the rear tires better now. They are typical R4 design.

Make sure and check the drain holes on the tool box in the hydraulic tank. There is one in front and one in the rear. If you are going to store it outside go ahead and clean the inside of the tool box and coat it with some kind of sealer. You don't want that to collect water and rust through.

2WD ..Yeah I can that now. The SN# has a dash under 4x4 axle. Still a great find. You'll figure it out after you get stuck couple times. Even with 4wd I had to learn how to crab crawl outta some stuff I got into
