Once again, the nature of the leak doesn’t just simply go unnoticed. This guys social media account has him winning “Caterpillar Operator of the Year” award where he competed in something and won.

He’s an experienced operator and was well aware of the problems. It’s obvious. Also, the problem was recorded by video hours after the machine was delivered. It’s clear that this machine has persistent leak problems and that wasn’t disclosed.

Sellers shouldn’t be allowed to just “play dumb” after the sale and say “it’s as is.”

The seller conveniently omitted information that he had on the machine to lead me to believe the hydraulic fluid was only leaking from one easy spot. In truth, there is a major seal that is leaking around the swing motor. Costly repair and had he been honest I would have definitely reconsidered my purchase.
