Just wondering, what would a Barber Greene bucket loader be worth? I've never seen one for sale, and this is the only one I have seen in person. I could potentially save it, but would it be worth it? This one is on tracks, but the power unit is missing.

the HCEA has one that is in working condition. yours might be a little older looking. from what i saw 2012 when i was there was it did not really like dirt too much. they where having problems getting it to eat but it might have not bean right. i don't think there two meany around i sure you got room for it and in 5-10 years i come down and take off your hands when the wife said you need to clean up the yard. lol

depending on how easy it is to save i thinking 300-500.

I know of another one close by, complete and did operate 15+ years ago. Like this one, mother earth is slowly taking it back.

That's what I was thinking on price too. Sounds like you already have a plan worked out haha.



Where is that one at? I'm guessing this one has been sitting since the 70s or 80s.
