[GrasshoppersLLC]

I am looking into buying a 1999 bobcat 873 with a turbo diesel.. Has 4400 hrs come with bucket.. Inside cab is kind of rusty.. May have loaded salt before.. Wants to creep a little at idle..mbut besides that seems to run ok.. What would be a good price for this machine ball park figure...

What would cause that creep and stalling at idle? Adjustments?.

5K to 7K tops... Salt and idle and creep issues..

Personaly with 4400 hrs I would check the Leave-r B lever and walk away from this deal. Sounds like engine has either bad injectors or compression problems and the travel thing is either a bad valve (blow by) or linkage. 4400 hrs is more than any engine can do without a rebuild expecialy a Skidder which is abused most its life anyways.

If I can get for 3000 is it worth it or am I wasting my cash?

Maybe or 2500 if that is worth the gamble to you but i feel like its always going to let you down.
