Using old worn out equipment is how Andrew was able to get where he is today. Its the same for a lot of contractors.

[@devvoid1312]

Making those bad decisions on equipment also teaches you what to look for most when buying used equipment in the future. You see it with Andrew, still buying used equipment, but having many fewer issues. Sure, he's spending a lot more, but he's also learned a lot about what to look for in the future and consistently made better purchases.

I think Dave's best chance of getting a decent amount of money for this thing is selling it to one of those guys that build a big house on a decent sized piece of property and want an ornament for the entrance to their driveway.

It’s worth more because it’s a “Project Bulldozer”. Never a minute of down time…for the owner. On the bright side, if it’s broken down, you’re not putting hours on the meter.

People dog on the ol 1010’s and the 350’s. Clutches. But if they are properly adjusted. And sealed from the elements (including leaking oil seals). They work great. Mine turns on a dime and can sit for over a year and they work just the same. There are a couple tricks to keeping the compartment dry. One big one is to silicone the fender brackets along with any other connection in the system. Another is to attach desiccant bags to the under side of the adjustment covers.
