    Cat 259D track replacement

    Got my set from HERE for 2200 for the set. Not sure how it compares to CAT but it was the best price I could find back in February.

    Cat 247B for sale-worth 4K?

    That perspective definitely makes sense and I imagine I'll end up with one as soon as I hit my first major repair. The info on the handles is really helpful but right now the buttons all work so it may just be a new boot for both right now. Any thoughts on why neither control would return...

    Cat 247B for sale-worth 4K?

    Ouch-$650.00 Clearly I'm out of touch as I was thinking maybe a couple hundred. Might need to hold off on that for a bit to ensure it makes sense for what repairs are needed. My first tasks are to clean all of the gunk and crap out of the engine and cab bays so I can get a good grip on what...

    Cat 247B for sale-worth 4K?

    I just threw a charger on it so I can give it a run when I get back. Took some pics if what I would say are the obvious concern

    Cat 247B for sale-worth 4K?

    That’s sort of how I’m leaning as well and been trying to get an idea on repair and parts cost for what I know. Looks like the track system is the biggest liability, aside from a blown engine of course, so even with a couple grand of repairs you’d go for it? She is also throwing in a grapple...

    Cat 247B for sale-worth 4K?

    First off apologies if this is out of place here but hoping to get opinions of those far more experienced than me A neighbor’s fiancée passed recently and she is selling his Cat 247B track skid steer for 4k. I took a look at it and the meter shows 7506 hours and it was clearly a rental unit...
