[QUOTE="Wayne440, post: 130856, member: 15549"] (Disclaimer- [B]my opinion[/B] follows- I claim no expertise) If it runs and does what a Bobcat is intended for well enough to beat a shovel it is worth $3K in my area (not too far from you). My guess is that the seller tried a "new head" to clear up the low compression/smoking, then decided to sell it instead of doing more extensive engine work. The slow starting and smoke you describe are typical of a high hour, worn but not worn completely out engine. [/QUOTE]
