buy it!
It's worth close to that as prepared scrap (approx 12 tons)
Nice looking old beast. If you can get a few jobs lined up for it, by all means buy it!! They also do a pretty good job of plowing snow 😆
Looks good to me....was the serial number high enough to get the oil clutch?

Yep it was high enough to get the oil clutch. A nice little feature I might add.
It's definitely worth it.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Hi, Beatles.
That IS a neat-looking rig - and it looks like it has been set up to plow snow at some stage of its life. You might like to check and see if the current owner has the front blade for it, if you haven't done so already.
That power steering set-up looks to be from a later model machine, possibly a 70D. All the 8T's that I ever came across with power steering had the Rivinius system with the torque converter arrangement in the steering shaft just in front of the cab
If you have the $3 1/2K lying around just being lazy, I doubt you could go wrong, barring the unforeseen, of course. Even if you have to rustle it up from some dark hole, I think it would be worth it.
Just my 0.02.
It's definitely worth it.
In my eyes it would be a good buy. Too bad I'm not closer to Nebraska to give you some competition for the purchase! Good luck.
