What do you guys thaink of this? My brother has about 15 acres of timber that is encased in Blackberrys. We would be using it to skid some logs and haul firewood. Any problems with these? Are parts still available? Is this the same engine that is in my 1966 530? This would be the first dozer/loader that we have ever bought if it seems like a good deal. It is about 1/2 hour from me. I can haul about 10,000 lbs on my trailer. Any problems there?

Thank you guys for your help! I rarely post, but I read every day trying to learn. I love Case tractors and own a D, 300 RN, and a 530 in peices.

Thanks, Zane

Very good crawlers the loader model is well over 13000lbs the way that one sits, parts should be no problem I have a dozer model I use a lot, they have a very good power-to-weight ratio and are econmical to run as well, and yes the 450 has a 188dsl I dought that one has a gas engine but they were available also cnt
 
That looks like a nice tight unit. Hard to tell from the pictures, but I would buy it without a test drive from here!
 
If it is in the shape that the ad says it is then it is a very good deal. Those are very dependable machines typically. Good Luck with it if you decide to buy it. Don
 

On a crawler track and undercarriage is 95% of the unit. If you don't know anything about crawlers it would be worth the money to have an expert check the machine out. You could easily have to put another $6K into the tracks and undercarriage.
