I'm probably the only one here that has ever seen or worked on one, and that's been over 20 years ago. That old of a machine with that many hours, knowing it at least needs center pin bushings, I can't imagine I'd give much for it. Do they have receipts for the engine and trans work? Maybe $5000. How much are they asking for it?

They are quite sturdy machines. I had a customer that last count had 8 R-series machines. Half of them with over 8000 hrs, one for sure with over 10000 hrs and another with a broken hourmeter that very likely has over 10000 hrs.

I would price those center bushings and make sure they are even available. I would also check to see if you can still get seal kits for the hydraulic cylinders. Don't just ask for prices when you talk to your dealer. Make sure they check availability too.

Also, what was done to the engine and trans? I did a head gasket on one of the machines belonging to my customer, I've also been in one of the rear diffs and did center support bushings on 3 of the machines. I've never had to touch a transmission. That's pretty much all I've ever done other than religiously keep the oils and filters changed for them.

I might bump that $5k up if the machine is super clean and they have detailed receipts of what was done to the engine and trans.
