Hey everyone,
Just wanted some opinions on the value of my Dad's HD3 Crawler, he's thinking about seling it. It has the bucket (with a new cutting edge on it), a homemade blade that works very well (heavy 3pt. blade cut and made to fit front of dozer), full set of weights in rear, swinging draw bar, it's the gas engine, overall mechanically average or slightly above except for the transmission--unless you have enough hands to hold shifter, it will pop out of every gear except 1st, cosmetically I would say above average--all sheetmetal/gaurding is there with no big dents or anything. I will try to post pictures if that would help sometime next week. Thanks for any and all input.

A gasser would make it an H3. The D is for diesel. You never said anything about the undercarrige. That would be my big concern. I can rebuild a motor for $700. The tracks could run $4000. The tranny could be an expensive fix. Same as a D15. Paid $1500 for mine 20 years ago. It ran and worked but needed work. ------------- 1961 H3 |

Iam with the other kip. sheet metal is cheap and easy. How dose it turn and hows the rails and rollers. If it kicks out of every gear Thats a problem. Plus if your using 3rd and 4th alot to the point it kicks out I bet the under side is shot plus the shuttel clutch is not far from being shot. with out photos its hard to price the unit. ------------- 160 CA 920diesel 5020 HD-3 |

Thanks, I'll do some more research with my Dad on this, I've never known anything about these and niether has my Dad, he just bought it from a nieghbor about year ago and has used it enough to know it works fine in 1st gear but its not big enough for what he wants to do. I'll try to post some pictures this week.

Sooooo, I'm the "other Kip" now? lol. Glad my girlfriend didn't say that. OK, I think I was the last(3rd) Kip to get on here.
Now back to Sean, you know what your Dad paid, might be a starting point. ------------- 1961 H3 |
