Crawler Model M series, 32-42, w/6' dozer blade

dbernie · Dec 5, 2011

HI,
This is pretty rough, hasn't run for six years.
I LIKE it--that's a problem.
Think it'd be worth a couple grand?
Any input will help (me cool my heels, lol)...

Worth that in spares

Just saw the "Tractor Value" section in the left column.
22Model M's, range $300-$3000 in price, $1632 average.

You are buying a lot of work. To get that machine back into running condition will cost you a min. of $2k. It might weigh 7000 lbs, so my offer would be scrap price. Here in Pa #1 unprepared is at $11.50/100 lbs.
Remember if the block is junk, you will have a hard time getting one. I believe it is a U gasoline engine.. It will also cost a couple of hundred to egt it hauled. I do also like them too.

I'm almost finished with my M-crawler.
If their are no cracks in the head or none repairable ones in the block and the undercarriage has some life in it and the price is cheap enough buy it. rings are available along gaskets. I was surprised when I took my motor apart the shim packs where full and the
bearings passed specs it is a very low RPM engine. Their not that hard to work on I had some great help on this discussion board.

I forgot to mention everything is heavy I mean
really heavy. Last fall when I finally bolted that motor in I was one happy camper. If you
have any questions please contact me. Also
Norm who has the A C parts was a great help.
