Bought this last Saturday. Appreciate all the good information here. Steers good to the left not as good to the right but it does turn.#63 blade and 8a winch ,needs gone over before I use it much. I pulled the starter off to have it repaired and need a new battery. Was $3200. a good price?

Judging by the look on the operators face, price doesn't really matter! :lol:
Very hard to tell by external looks, but I think you did fine.

The dozer shouldn't be to expensive to upkeep it looks like a decent machine and so does the operator but he will be much more expensive about 7 to 10 thousand a yr till he goes to college then it goes way up`but with a toy like that he will turn out just fine LOL
