Wondering what you think of this ute.
1988 HJ75 ute. 2H diesel 278,000km new pistons rings and head at 255,000km as was using oil. New radiator. Body is straight looks good air cond etc. He wants $6500. Leaking oil from transfer case.
Am looking at it again tonight, what should I look out for with this model, are tansfer cases a problem?
Thanks

Gday
Rust around the cab, windscreen and batteries, transfer case leaks, front swivel hub leaks,5th gear is week.
Front diff.. if its not the freewheeling hub that is not engaging, it will be a c/v or axle. Motor must have been abused to not last 250kms, most probably overheated as this is also another problem with these models.

Had another look at the ute yesterday, the guy wasnt there and his mate was supposed to turn up to give me the keys to drive it and he wasn't there either - cant want to sell it too bad! Anyway got underneath to have a look at it. I rotated the front driveshaft then got my mate to lock the hubs and I could still rotate the shaft by hand, does this mean it has a broken axle/diff or something??
