A local widow (north central ND) is looking to sell a 720 diesel. Both engines run reasonably well and the power steering pump has just been resealed. (By me.) There IS a wear issue with the hi-lo range shift fork/rail, but otherwise the tranny is OK. (I put some bearings down deep in there some years (but not many hours) ago.
I"d like to own it but am not flush with cash at the moment. She asked me for advice as to a price range, and I said I"d ask on here and get back to her. Apparently, a local (and I am quite sure "HONEST") auctioneer is after it, as well as a couple of guys that think they want to USE it, but have NO 2-cylinder diesel experience.
I told her she would be better of the try to sell it to a collector who would understand and appreciate it than the aforementioned characters.
Ideas, guys?
