For sale, John Deere 27D. Only showing 504 hrs. New bucket and arm pins, new battery spring of 25. Runs and starts good and the glow plugs work well. The hydraulics are incredibly strong, and the lights all work. The only thing that will need to be addressed is the bucket cylinder has a seep, it isn’t noticeable till it sits for a while and there is oil on the stick. I believe it has a long time before it would blow a seal completely out but it is going to need to be rebuilt.
This John Deere 27D is a well-maintained compact excavator with only 504 hours on the meter. The machine runs and starts reliably with fully functional glow plugs. Recent maintenance includes new bucket and arm pins plus a new battery spring installed in spring of 2025.
The excavator boasts incredibly strong hydraulics and all working lights. One minor issue to note is that the bucket cylinder has a slow seep. Oil will appear on the stick after the machine sits for a period of time. While this isn't an immediate concern, the cylinder will eventually need to be rebuilt, though the seal isn't expected to fail in the near term.
