Not running. No deck. Lift handle missing, or cut off as you think. So, you would have no idea if the trans/diff is any good.
There really isn't much that goes wrong with them, but chit can happen.
Plus, who knows the condition of the engine, being it's a non runner. I'd look elsewhere if he's firm on the price. But, that depends on how bad you want it, just speaking for myself is all...
