440 Salvage Crawler

Post by Ricky Sims » Fri May 05, 2006 1:51 pm

I was looking for parts for two crawlers I am restoring and ran across a 440 that is 100% complete. The owner is 89 years old, the motor went down while he was using it in 1976, it has been sitting ever since. He ask me $1,000.00 for it, I know it is too far gone to restore,but it has lots good parts. Does anybody know what a fair price is ???

Price will vary widely based on condition and options even with a bad engine.

I would say it is above average condition, especially the undercarriage. The tracks,sprockets,rollers,etc. all looks like it was almost new when it was parked. I might take a closer look at it to consider restoring???

If you don't want it and it is around Ohio I'll take it.
