   Hi everybody. I'm looking for some help. I'm looking to purchase an H3 dozer but I dont know anything about them. Is there any known issues with them? Are parts hard to come by? Are they reliable? The one I am looking at has been sittinf in a field for two years woth out moving but it was started and the motor ran last year. The tracks look pretty good, almost like it hasn't been used much or it has new tracks? The paint looks good and clean. There isn't really any grease or hydraulic fluid all over the place like you see on others. The dozer is several hours away from where I live so thats my biggest issue. They want $2000 for it and they tell me "as is." I offered $1000 over the phone figuring scrap price and some extra for a running motor.  If anybody has any insite or extra to add to sway me one way or the other, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

	If it runs and drives, it could easily be worth $2,000. Maybe you will get lucky but if you want it, you may have to up your offer.

	Correction on my post. After further investigation and looking at the picture closely that has the dozer cover by two year old brush. I found out thay it is an allis chalmers model m. What can those be worth?
