I have a guy selling a 980 with a bad motor for 1000.00. He thinks it is a 1993 but is not sure. I will get the vin to see for sure next week. The guys says the hydraulics are good and the hoses still look good. However if I do end up getting it I will change at the very least any hoses running from the engine compartment to the pump or that are not easy to get to with the motor in. I will not go through what I went through with my 743 again. Anyone familair with these machines? Is 1000.00 worth it? How hard is the motor replacement? If I understood right they have a cummins 4bt motor in it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
