My first post so I apologize if this the wrong place or format.
I have an opportunity to buy a used cat 303cr from my boss. It’s scratched and beat up and will need some work. He doesn’t take the best care of equipment but most of the stuff thats behind on it I can do my self. Change all the filters, fluids, and battery. It will need at least one new final drive motor in the under carriage. Is this something worth taking on and if so at what price. Would just be used around the property for now as I don’t plan to go out on my own for another few years. Haven’t looked in a while but it’s over 2000 hrs easy at this point. Thank you for any information and opinions! -Eli
