[AJD] 1010 Crawler

[Gary Epps]

A friend has a 1010 crawler that he got from the Forest Service.  I am not 
sure of the year.  It has a manual six way blade.  He has restored it in his 
shop.  I have not seen this crawler but I have seen his work in the past and 
based on that I assume that he replaced whatever needed to be replaced.  I 
know, I know, this is a big assumption.  I would of course go look at it and 
drive it before making him an actual offer.  I know the 10 series had 
problems and that the 20 series is much improved.  With the assumption that 
it is like a reasonably new machine, what would be a reasonable price range 
to frame an offer to someone that I don't want to take advantage of.  I see 
his daughter in church every Sunday.  My friend has some health issues ie. 
bone cancer ????.  That should be determined this week.

I realize that the variables are many, but this is all I know at this time 
and since it is not for sale and is a hundred miles or so away from me, I 
can't just drop in and check it out.  Can anyone help me focus in a little 
more closely on what a price range might be.  I don't know how being 
restored might modify the concerns about the weaknesses of the 1010.  Any 
suggestions?  I could sure use the help.
