Considering that they won't let you check anything out, I would assume it needs a quite a bit of work. It's a 1959 and if it has never been rebuilt or anything I would assume it needs a complete overhaul to be on the safe side and go from there. I would say $1,000 would be about all I'd pay for it and less if I could get them any lower. I recently checked in the tractor values section and OC-46's sell for less money than the OC-4's. I recently rebuilt a 1958 OC-4 from the bare frame up and spent about double what they are currently bringing. I skimped on nothing and it was worth every penny. If the tranny, tracks and sprockets are sound you would spend a LOT less than that even if you had to do a complete motor rebuild. In this area JD 350's are bringing $7,000-$12,000 in junk condition. Cherry JD $350's are bringing in the $20,000 range. An OC-4/46 is a tad smaller and lighter than a 350 but not by much. The OC-4/46 was a top-of-the-line light crawler in it's day and a freshly rebuilt one still is. It all boils down to how money you have to spend/are willing to spend. As stated below, Zimmerman's is the place to go for parts and info.
