Fantastic score. You won't find one of them in Australia that tidy that cheap. You will have to excuse my Down Under ignorance but I thought Amish community's didn't have powered machines? Do some Amish guys have different ideas to others?

I believe the Amish community are not allowed to use rubber tyred machines, so the Cats are perfect for their farming.

That's a great looking machine. Just a word of caution to check the pin and sheave directly above the back of the operators head. On my uncles old worn out D8 he broke the pin and the sheave came down hard and busted his right shoulder up quite badly. Lucky it missed his head as he was crowding the left side of the seat a bit. I was just a 10 year old or so snot nosed kid but remember helping him fix it with him only using his left arm.

Thank-you to all who has replied, Yes I WILL the check the bolt and pin assembly... Don't need any issues..and yes a $1000
is not much in reguards to tearing it down for repair... to the gentleman down under... The amish do use track units and it
was another Amish person that sells and repairs crawlers that was bidding against me...I talked with him afterwards,he
had a R2 RD4 and some others he would sell...he gave ph no.'s for trucking it home... He was a nice person.
Thank-you again H Fry D46U
