I have posted information on this machine recently. I paid $1200 for the machine, and removed the winch for use on my 430C. I am going to sell the rest of the machine for $1000 for parts or restoration. If I cannot sell it I will probably have to haul to the scrap, which of course I do not want to see happen, but I have other projects, it is in the way & I don't really need another crawler, right now anyway.
I know very little about this machine other than what I have posted in the past. According to the SN it is a 1960 model with an 831 loader. It is an IC model, but has been switched over to a diesel at some point in it's life. I have been able to rotate the motor about a 1/4 turn with a wrench on crank. The chains, bushings & sprockets appear to be in decent condition. It is missing a roller on one side and has a broken roller on the other side. Final castings do not appear to be broken. The steering levers are not froze up. I removed the inspection plates off the clutch housing and they are fairly clean, surprising since it has sat outside for some years. The tracks are not froze up and the machine rolls pretty easy. It has the reverser cover on the side, but as Lavoy stated before with the lever missing it is possible that the reverser itself has been removed.
I will also be listing this on my local Craigslist. If you would like a picture of something specific let me know. Ph. 319.931.4127
