Abandoned case 1450 track loader

Neighbor of mine is having a fire sale of old equipment. This 1450 caught my eye, they said motor runs. You think this might be worth a 2k investment or a parts nightmare?

    Get a weight on it and figure out the scrap value. That's what it's worth sitting there. And then remember you have to get it out of there after you buy it.

    Finals were the problem on those until they hung a planetary on them

    If it does what it's supposed to starts,moves, chromes not pitted & hydraulics work after warming up $2k ya that Case should be simple to work on.

    I’ll buy it, if you don’t, for that price.
