I know, another “what’s it worth” post. But an older gentleman who likes to sell me old tractors and stuff came into possession of a Caterpillar Thirty Five gas. I haven’t seen it myself, but he said the frame and undercarriage has been sandblasted and painted. Motor and radiator are both out but have been rebuilt. Has a cable control unit on the rear and comes with some kind of cable dozer set up. He’s telling me he’s into it for $2500 and would like $3000. Is it worth it? Hopefully I’ll get to see it tomorrow.
 

i would say that that's fair. if what he's said is all true

That description sounds identical to a machine that was in an auction a couple weeks ago in South Dakota. The pictures that I saw support what you are saying. I think its a fair price so long as all the parts are there to reassemble .

Did I read that correctly - painted rebuilt sold for $1000.00? Bob

there is only one honest answer about what anything is worth.

what the buyer is willing to pay and the seller is willing to receive.
