I am going to look at a 430 crawler sunday, any advice on what to look for? Also would like to ask for a range of value if possible.
Thanks

I think undercarriage is most important to check. Rollers, idlers, sprockets, chain, pins/bushings can be costly to buy and labor intensive to replace. Steering clutches and brake bands are next on my list. The engine is quite easy to work on and relatively inexpensive to repair. That's all I have to say about that!!! I'd say the price should be from $1000.00 to $5000.00 depending on condition and any extras. gregjo1948

Thanks Gregjo1948, I went to look and passed on it. Looks like it needs some work down under.
