I am looking at a L3 combine. It has been sitting for a year and the hydraulic pump quit working when it was parked. What things should I look for on one of these?

raddle chains and sprockets and floors....... of course all chains and sprockets. Leading edge of cylinder bars should be not be rounded. Rubber shoe bushings. Also rubber bushings for the walker pan. Check walker pan for breaks and check walkers for missing chunks. Especially the front of the walkers. If you want to use it on corn make sure it has the wire inserts in the walkers. Check walker wood bushings and check if combine side flexes when the walkers are turning over. Bent crank if it does. All auger flighting and auger trough bottoms. Make sure hydro can climb a hill. Check engine oil for water. Look at cleaning fan and bearings. There's more I'm missing
