I looked at the auction, thinking it was the model with the pair of detroits. From what little I know about them, I can recall that the undercarriage components for these may not convert to something still available, could be wrong, but something to be aware of, if true, you have to wonder about how long ago the owner did the undercarriage work, and if it actually measures to only have 5% wear on all U/C components. The track pads have significantly more wear than 5%, tracks, at least one side looks loose, how much adjustment is left ? Pin bosses don't look hammered, so maybe it's still got some height on the rails, pins/busings, just better to measure all components and see what it compares to on a wear chart, or new dimensions. Looking at photos or just doing a visual inspection really does nothing to make a fair assessment, even if worn quite a bit more, but running good, still might have plenty of use, but the price should reflect the wear. Rear radiator in those is the strangest thing, been on sites with a few of these, but never ran one, mostly Cat's, not much insight for you, but for that price I'd be looking at others as well, in comparison by size and condition. I don't think they were bad tractors, they were around for awhile, but a mechanic who is familiar with these would be the best bet to get story on how they held up and any weak or problem components
