I knocked on the door and they said that I could have it for $400. I don't have any pictures to put up but didn't look like it had any rust beside some light surface rust in a couple areas and there is still about 70% of the paint on it. Are Parts readily available? It looks like it has a four-cylinder Wisconsin in it and the guy said that his dad had it running but it had electrical problems and he had just left it there and didn't have the time to mess with it again. Who knows, it could be completely trashed. I've never messed with a bobcat that old before but it looks like it's built very similar to my OMC mustang 1700 that I have worked on quite a bit. I have a bobcat 453 that I use in my small landscape company which would probably out perform that. Is it worth fixing up to use or to sell at that price? I'm guessing with the clutch drive system instead of hydraulics it probably can't hold up or compete with my 453? Any info would be good. Thanks!</p></blockquote><p></p>
