What would you pay for one? This morning the eBay auction for a very nice original looking 841 with Nice working Elenco, nice loader with no apparent welds, Sherman, and very good tires, in western Michigan ended at $4960.00. If it had been closer I would have gone easily $1,000 more. Essentially it was a very nice 841 with free Elenco thrown in. This evening I got a call from the owner of another 841 with Elenco that I had given a bid for $600 about a month ago. He called to tell me that it had sold for $1800.00. This one had no drive shaft, welded on Elenco housing, two broken front axles, the only sheet metal on it was the upper and lower dash, Very badly beat loader, no air cleaner,no hydraulic pump, no hitch parts, junk rims all around, and perhaps best of all, a spin on oil filter that was so old that it was rusted through and weeping oil when the motor was running. I am glad that someone else got it. Every few days I would think about what I would have to sink into it to make it halfway decent. easily $5,000 with nothing for labor. A thousand miles away somebody gets a nice one with Elenco thrown in for nothing.
