Project planning and material gathering, misc assembly and testing. Est @ 15600.00 if you count all the labour. Because I may resell I'm including labor. I had intended to do more myself to but got busy with the house thing and turned alot over to my hire man. Mechanically this machine was good other then the bobtach pins. But rust wise it was bellow average for its year. We ended up spending quite a bit of time removing twisted off bolts to get interior panels and cab items apart. And @ 3 days to sandblast it all.
