I see three issues which indicate not worth the money. At some point had a Operator guard on it, been removed with additional panels for access due to ? And I would expect either steering or transmission failure. Next up rails are BEYOND done, the only reason to buy a non-runner is pieces and the most important are toast. Lastly exhaust manifold is broken and no cover on stack, I would Seriously worry of water intrusion in the engine.

Trans pump drive and steering control pumps were/ARE problematic in these. I should know. Shear the splines on trans pump drive as not well lubricated and no way to adequately lube, steering pump is just a weak spot.

Did it sell for $525 or was that just the high bid so far? Couldn't see a auction over date.

Thats kinda what I was thinking It might have been used for a stump dump for the city. Kinda like the cat loader was used for on the movie tremmors with kevin bacon.
