[QUOTE="ShowMeGuy, post: 80055, member: 10811"] The guy was asking 6k for both the 732 and the 909. Unfortunately it looks like the ol boy has let it sit for 3 years or so. I took the compression tester out and the #1 cyl was dead, #2 was good at 120-130 psi, #3 was questionable at 60-70psi and #4 was 110-120psi. It could just be a valve stuck or sticky.... or.... bigger problems. It's got some oil and grime on the bottom of the engine bay but I expect that fro a 30year old machine. Someone has been messing with the fuel delivery and swapped in a electric pump which I couldn't find the specs on it but it could be over loading the carb float if it's more that it ought to be. It didn't look all that bad but without being able to test it and run it. Hydros, drives and motors are all $$$$. It's a gamble for sure. He mentioned he was hoping to get 4k out of the loader, which i would have paid or close to that if i could have ran it and it operated as expected. I didn't make an offer when I was there because I didn't want to hurt they guys feelings pretty much. But I dont' think I would make a gamble on this one for more than 1k maybe 1500 tops.. It just has to many unknowns? What is the consensus of the rest of the folks out there? [/QUOTE]
