I gotta a guy wanting to sell an HD-4 for $4500.It"s a 1969 I think. Included in that price is a 6 ton home-made trailer. The steering brakes are worn out on the left side. Also included in that price is that his mechanic will fix the brakes, and get the thing running as it has not been used in 9 months. He siad when he bought it, a little while after, he broke a "spindle". I"m assuming he means axle? Anyways, he spent $8000 rebuilding the final drive on the right side. It has a torque converter & shuttle shift, etc... Should I worry about the left side final drive? If the right side needed a rebuild, should I be leary of the left side???. From what I can see, the undercarriage looks good. The rollers in the center that hold up the track were replaced not too long ago. He"s gonna get it running early next week so I can hear it go... What should I checkout on it? I"m a total crawler noob... Oh yeah, it hase a 6 way blade, for those of you who were gonna ask. If I hear it run, see all the hydralics work withot any major leaks, I was gonna offer him $4000 for everything, including the brake job...
