Called a guy about a JD 40 bulldozer this winter. Ad said excellent condition. I called and said that I wanted something I could use right away. I would eventualy restore it but it HAD to be workable now.
"Come on down, you won't be dissapointed".
It wouldn't start without a boost, three or four pads missing, three rollers were just floating around and not bolted, once it started there was enough blow by from the crank to run an impact. It wouldn't even haul itself around the yard.
"New set of rings and bearings is all she needs" he says.
Three hundred miles round trip and a day from my family that I'll never have back. I didn't expect new but he did say excellent condition.
I won't go look at another one more then twenty miles from home.
