Need advice on a 1980 MF 750 Combine

I went and looked at a 1980 MF 750 combine this past Monday. Everything looked real good. The machine looks very solid and runs great.

I did find two problems that jumped out at me. The first problem is a hydraulic leak on the cab side of the combine about half way back the combine. It looks like the main hydraulic pump for the system. The second problem is that the cab is sprung. Apparently the farmer that traded the machine hit a tree limb going down the road and bent the cab. There is a cable running from one corner of the cab to the corner of the hopper. Naturally, the cab door does not close properly.

The dealer is asking $4,500.00 for the machine with a 15' bean head. I think the cab issue makes the machine a piece of junk.

I can live with a bent cab for now, but I would like to price out what it would cost to replace the cab with a used one.

I was thinking of offering the dealer $2,000.00 for the machine. What do you guys think?

Sir- I would recommend running! Totally mill of the run unit, higher hours on that expensive Perkins engine, and a sprung cab? Why are you considering? Total dime a dozen unit, there are better, I am certain of that!

I have read where you were talking about this combine before. Up here in grain country (Manitoba Canada) very few 750 Massey's ever made that many hours before ending up at a wreckers. Having said that, many smaller acreage farmers have done well with them because the wreckers had lots of cheap parts.

I agree - for this area up here, that price is high. It may be way different there.
