Is this a good price for this T-9 dozer?

I went to look at this T-9 yesterday (10 hr drive) and took detailed pictures of every nut on her, but the camera memory had been taken by my wife and I didn't notice until I got home!

What do you guys think of it from what little you can see in his picture?

A few questions for you experts:

1) The BeeGee pump is whining. Is that normal?

2) She can not hold herself up on the dozer blade after letting the control go. There is a fair amount of leakage at both cylinders shaft seal when they are under load. I assume this is why she drops. Can I still get seals? I worry more about the bushing though. I assume they wear too? Are there rebuild kits of any kind? Or does it go in the lathe for a bore out and rebush?

3) I have to push the right hand side clutch down all the way to the floor board before it will disengage the track enough to let the brake stop the track on that side. Can this be adjusted, or is it an indication that the clutch pack needs work?

4) Does anyone have a picture of a badly worn sprocket. When people say sharp points, exactly how sharp do the mean?

5) Any comments on the gas motor versus Diesel? I see a lot more TD9s than T9s. Any comments on the gas motor running on propane? She sure started easy that's for sure!

P.S. I know that dozers are a big commitment of time and money, and have been told many times to just rent. But when you fall in love with an International, renting a Komatsu just won't do. Nevertheless, feel free to remind me of the money pit nature of dozers. Perhaps it will help me come to my senses before I get one :D
