How much is this dozer worth?

[Tscott9330]

Hey guys,
Just happened to stumble upon a 1991 JOHN DEERE CRAWLER DOZER, MODEL 750B locally with what appears to be 25 hours on it (this is what the counter shows). The dozer appears to be almost new. The paint looks almost new, except it looks weathered from being left outside. I do not think it has been repainted because the stickers and data plates are all still visible. The rivets holding the data plates on are rusty so I think they are original. What would this be worth if the hours are actually correct? I Know the original purchase price was around $121000. I have ebayed a few and ones with thousands of hours are worth $55000.

An 18 year old dozer with only 25 original hours?????? I'd be very suspicious. When I bought my dozer I put that many hours on it in the first four days. Just doesn't seem right. What's the history behind it?

It is not worth anywhere near some of those figures you mentioned. Do have a serial number on it? I am sure those hours are not correct, probably just had the meter replaced.

Here is the link to the auction. You tell me if it looks used or not? It is not unheard of for almost new vehicles to show up at these auctions. What do you think?

I have also discovered some schmuck selling the exact same dozer on ebay. It almost makes me want to buy the thing so he can't make a buck on it.

Don't have any idea on price but hours might be right since it is or was owned by the navy. Probably didn't see much use.

Same dozer is listed on Equipmenttraderonline.com
There are 5 others as well that seem to be in the 20-30K price range.
It seems to be in good to excellent shape and its possible it only has 25 hours but I doubt it being a Navy Govt. surplus unit.

Fresh paint can do wonders.

Fresh paint can do wonders.

Fresh new Decals over the new paint make it look even better. it's a buyer beware world..

Being a Gov. auction it might actually be the true hours. The blade corners are sharp and the grouser pads look to be full height. It would make me wonder what kind of mechanical problems would crop up since it wasn't ever run much.
