Hey guys ran the slobbering d4 today an it cleared up after it got good an hot,,,couldn't of been happier ,, well I bought it 2 yrs ago at a decent cheap price, was looking into painting it an redecaleing it ,,,,now that that's done an runs great an really strong an stout I need help finding a reasonable dollar figure for it, it has the rounded limb riser (3 of them) an Fleco manufactured rounded top cab with the heavy expanded steel mesh around it, an extra factory installed axuilary hydraulic valve mounted beside the blade lift control valve,an has the regular draw bar on it that dosent swing sideways ,an even has a great working hyster d4 wintch on rear, an under carriage is around 85 to 90 percent left on it, an a manual direct drive clutch an 5 speed trainny, good looking sheet metal an grill an hood in great shape to not bent at all, hydraulics are in great shape, no hyd leaks anywere, left the blade in the air for a wk while it was painted an dryed an I think it only drifted down maybe bout an inch or so. runs great , all gauges work, great fuel an oil pressure. an wintch works great aswell. just needs a good home, or make a collector an nice pne for his collection. ive seenem go from as low as 7000 to high as 16000,,, an the 16000 dollar one was exactly like mine with the rounded cab an limb risers an hand direct drive clutch. any help an suggestions are well thanked from ya,,, im just a field tech. an don't know that end of a tractor dealing with the dollar.

I waited to long to edit my first post. Instead of a link here are the photos.
Can you post some close ups of the undercarrige? Sprockets, idlers, rollers, chains, pads, etc. A big part of the machine value sets in the undercarriage and how much life the undercarriage has left. Have you measured the tracks for wear? Measure over 4 stretched tight links, 5 pins center to center and post the length. Someone here will post the percent of track life left based on that.
