Boss just picked up a Deere 690B for a great price! Serial #690BA 006288T.
Bucket pin wear... lol
What was the great price?
Less than 15 grand.
Does Missouri have any buyers remorse laws?
Lemon laws but no remorse.... Bought it with full understanding. .... which is why the "lol" We knew it would have problems... Here's a better view for ya.... LOL
Around here those old girls go between 5-12k Canuck $. They're usually plumb wore out but still good enough to bury carcasses or load the occasional truck. Does it have pilot controls or wobble sticks??
Good to have a plan. The previous owner wasn’t the sort of operator that wasted a lot of time greasing things it seems. Used iron is always an adventure... good luck with that girl
Wobble.... linkages look good. Not alot of play.. no oil use, will have to replace a hose or two. Thanks MD!
1979, hopefully the price wasn't $14,999. Half that might have been a great price. If greasing pins was too much of a bother what other maintenance was missed?
Pins look real good for being 40 years old
Lookin real nice, Those old Gals last forever.
Got the hose flip from SAE to ISO controls. Replaced the bushings and pins. Running good...
