I have the chance to buy a 1957 Cat D6 from a local farmer. He has owned it for about 7 years and has used it to clean all of his pastures.
He is wanting $5000 for it where it sits. I went and looked at it over the weekend and everything is in working order. There are no hydraulic leaks that I could find. The only leak that does exist is in the fuel tank itself. It leaks about a gallon every couple weeks according to the owner. Judging by the small area on the ground, I believe he is being truthful.
The dozer has been sitting since Thanksgiving weekend. When he started it, it just took a small shot of either and it fired right up.
I guess my question is this dozer worth 5k? I am thinking of buying it to clear some of my land and re-sell it in a couple of months.
Thoughts?
