    Should I buy it?

    We brought out the mechanic Aaron, who for a living, works on International tractors, 1960 and up, mostly older ones, and he was very helpful. He is going to rebuild the fuel injector pump for about $45-50 an hour plus parts. He estimates 4-6 hours labor. He knows how to do these. We think...

    Should I buy it?

    Very possible, and I would be happy for him if I pass on it. I really like the guy and he is a friend of a friend and I would not be surprised if we do more together in the future. He has another dozer twice as big, I think it was a Cat. He showed it to me. Leaks like crazy and steers only...

    Should I buy it?

    There are no other buyers and it has sat for 2 years or more and how many buyers would come help and invest a little money to get it going, and enjoy it too? Not many. I don't think he has any money to put into it. So patience? I don't think so. I think it's just the only opportunity.

    Should I buy it?

    He did crack the lines and fuel was not coming. I never thought I was an expert so your accusation is unfounded. In fact, I don't know anything about diesels at all. This is my first one. Someone already told us about the glow plugs and the starter fluid, and we didn't do those together so...

    Should I buy it?

    If people don't want to follow along that is fine with me. I think it would be good to continue with this thread and see it thru so that anyone else looking at one like this can see how it ends up.

    Should I buy it?

    This does not apply because I'm not buying it unless it moves and does everything that it is supposed to do for hours. But thanks for the story.

    Should I buy it?

    I work better if I dive in and put my eyes and hands on something first, and then research needed things I've seen and observed. Talking on the internet for days doesn't work for me. Especially on something that I have no experience with. We have not talked about price at all again, and I...

    Should I buy it?

    I spent another day with the Barn Doctor working at the TD340. So far I've spent mostly hours and not much on materials, and I've gained lots of experience and knowledge of this type of equipment. And I've enjoyed it thoroughly. And I've enjoyed working with the Amish Maguyver, he's quite a...

    Should I buy it?

    Question: I found the drain, fill, and dipstick for the hydraulic and transmission in the center rear area. I also found drain plugs on each side in the housings that drive the tracks. I think this is called the final drive. I could not find fill plugs for those side housings (final drives). Can...

    Should I buy it?

    Excellent thank you! Yes, from many mechanics we have heard this and it is what we suspect. One mechanic told us that their shop could probably rebuild it for about $500 but they couldn't start it for 6 weeks or more. I said I'm a DIY mechanic and pretty handy, if I find good instructions and...
