Okay guys, let's paint a realistic picture here.
$6000 is for a prime example. Painted WELL, not slobbered on over 30 years of crud. Good tires, new or nearly new. No mechanical problems whatsoever.

Either way if you pay a fair price for one you can't go too awful wrong.
The hydraulic system is good when it's working correctly, and most work just fine, but underneath it's kinda complicated to work on.
