Blairgowrie Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Knowing Jim, in 5 years he'll resell it during the next construction boom for three times as much as he paid for it! PS That thing is HUGE! Your wife really gives it a sense of scale that was missing from the previous image you posted. Funny you should mention that Angus. My partner figures if we painted it up, it would fetch double the price we paid for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I found when putting these things on auction, like on http://www.ironplanet.com/ A paint job, new seat, and Glass if needed, could easily double and then some the price, received, no matter the mechanical shape. One of the last things I placed on that site went to South Africa, a D-9 Dozer , it couldn't fetch 20,000 here in the states, but went for 46,000 overseas. And they payed the shipping. I sort of miss that Job, when it comes to things like this, Don't miss the back stabbing politics though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snacko Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 He wants to repaint it but will wait for the winter when things are quiet. The meter shows only 9,000 hours which is not much on these big machines. Cool pics Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
