I was considering getting a wheel loader to speed up work on my property. I have an MX track so there will always be work for it. One place I looked has an 87 Dresser 520B with 7400 hours and a Cummins 5.9 listed for $23,800. Looks to be in very good condition with good tires but I think has been painted. They also have a 74 Timberjack 1900 with 3388 original hours and a Detroit engine. I think a 4-71 but not sure. Everything looks original and tight but the tires are weather checked. They're asking $21,800 and I think they bought it from an auction for $15,800. I think the 520B is a much better deal and probably a lot easier to get parts for.
Just curious what some of you guys think. Is it sometimes smart to buy older low hour machines? Mind you 7400 hours isn't a lot for a wheel loader or a 5.9 Cummins if the meter is correct.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
