what would a fair price be for a 2002 D9R with 35000 hours and 40% undercarriage wear
I'm not sure but there would be alot more questions to ask , does it have 40% left or is it only 40% worn , also has it been certified rebuilt and when and to what degree was it rebuilt total or just powertrain. If it hasnt been rebuilt what major compononents have been rebuilt and how many hrs are on them now. There is alot of variables here and alot more research to do for you . also you need to factor in what your going to be doing with it and how much your going to be running it vs whatever age is on your major components . just my 2 cents
Definitly worth the efford in finding out some more details like walkerv sad. With 35000hrs it could have been (partly)rebuild or it could been hicking towards a rebuild. Also it depends on what you want to do with the dozer. I dont know in what kind of degree you would be comfortable in purchasing parts but a D9 has already a bit high priced parts. So definitly worth to see how much info you can ger from the seller, there could always be something where you can get the price down a bit. Good luck
For what it is worth, I had a D-9R, and it made just shy of 18,000 hrs before needing the engine rebuilt. The trans went at 14,000. When it went for the engine, it needed a whole lot of other work. I would expect a 35,000 hour machine to be sold by a large company with good records and the knowledge that a major overhaul is nearly due, and they decided to replace instead of rebuild. It also could have recently been rebuilt for the second time, and used enough to wear 40% off of a then new undercarriage. When it comes to U?C, a salesman saying it is at 40% means nothing to me. What part of it is at 40%? you have many wear items to account for, shoes and grouser height, rail height, bushing wear, internal pin wear, Idler wear, which is usually different front to rear, rollers, segments, carrier roller, if equipped. You need to factor in all of these measurements to get a true picture of the condition. Then you can get into major and minor bogie pins, the equalizer bar and pivot shaft, as well as the slack adjusters. I know nothing of the tractor you speak of, but that would be a generalization of my thoughts. See if there is a reliable service history available. This may tell you what kind of life the original components had, and what the remaining life MAY be. Oil samples will tell more, but one sample does not tell the story, only multiple samples can show a trend. To answer your question, a 35,000 hr D-9R may be worth $350,000 if it was just rebuilt recently, and it may be worth $35,000 if it is run out to the point of needing the next rebuild. Careful examination is needed to make sure the true condition before putting a price on a dozer.
