Re: How much should I pay for this late 70's JD 750 Dozer

I agree with 77 Ford on the tracks and undercarriage. If he has not done undercarriage work in the 7 years he has had it, it certainly has not gotten better, so even if 70% then it is less than 70% of new, or more than 70% worn now. I am guessing the 70% listed for the auction was a guess/wishful t...

Re: How much should I pay for this late 70's JD 750 Dozer

My guess from looking at those auction pictures is someone has put sprocket on it. The bushing are heavily worn, the track adjusters look like they are at the ends of their travel, the links look short and the spacing between the track pads is seems high. You can measure the pins and see to verify ...

Re: How much should I pay for this late 70's JD 750 Dozer

Welcome to the Board. I agree with Al on his points. Have you operated it yourself? (Are you familiar with operating heavy equipment, so you have a feeling for its performance?) The serial number can put you on, or close to the year, it was built. There is a serial number list for 750s on the FAQ B...

Re: How much should I pay for this late 70's JD 750 Dozer

It's pretty hard to judge much from those pictures. The undercarriage is completely impacted with dirt, which I consider a lack of maintenance. The spacing between the pads seems a bit large but the pictures are so far away it's really hard to tell. What model is it? Narrow that down and there are ...

Re: How much should I pay for this late 70's JD 750 Dozer

Have you operated it yourself? Those pics aren't much help. Ask the owner what is the lowest he'd take and go from there. Prices for a comparable machine can be found online from various sources. Sorry for the poor pictures. I figured what better place to get information on this dozer than a JDcraw...
