![]() ![]() ![]() Thank you all for your time, it is much appreciated. I'm thinking I should have someone knowledgeable take a look at it (where do I find this person?) and hopefully get it running (how much should I bother investing in it?) and then perhaps post it for sale on the internet (for how much?) Let me know if you have any other input on how I should proceed. I'm not sure what his expertise is with a machine like this, and it's hard to understand him, so I'm thinking it may be worth having someone knowledgeable come take a look at it. And fill is roughly the same area but maybe a little longer on length and width but not but 6 foot max deep fill. If I dont rent I may use my d6d with ripper. He barely speaks English and had trouble selling it so I'm going to try to sell it for him and we'll split the sale, since I'll be doing the leg work. 1 I have a job that I have to squeeze into my schedule. I'm willing to help him out because that's what I'd like someone to do for me if I was in a similar situation. I think since it was on the property when we bought it, it technically belongs to us but I'm not certain how that works. He has since given up on it and wanted to sell it before the property was sold to us, but was unable to do so. Last year, the buyer was able to get the pony motor going but couldn't get the diesel going (my brother witnessed it). The machine was apparently sold to someone (who I'm also in contact with) who wanted to ship it to Guatemala but was unable to find an affordable way to do so. For a used D8 that’s not too old and in good condition, you should expect to pay between 250,000 and 300,000. The previous owner's son (who I'm in contact with) says the machine is in working condition, it's just been sitting for a while. A Cat D8 bulldozer costs around 350,000 or more brand new. The previous property owner passed away and his wife sold us the property. ![]() We acquired this property a few months back but have been living next door for about 8 years now (it was sitting the whole time). So, I was able to get some more info, but it's a little complicated so bear with me. Were it me and I wanted it gone, I would advertise it for a token value with a dead line to remove it. ![]() It's about 20 ton at $80 a ton or $1,600 less break down and transportation. If it can't be made to run, it's worth what it weighs less break down and transportation. Most of us old timers might be interested in a yard ornament for around $5,000. That's about $10,500 that might be offered on trade, if it runs, and an asking price of $15,000 on the dealer's lot. I'm guessing the chains are not SALT and that the bushings have been turned so thinking the undercarriage at about 70% worn. A new undercarriage is probably around $35,000 installed now days. When I worked for a Cat dealer we figured the worth was the percentage of wear left on the undercarriage. You can likely find someone there with the money and time to pay for it and move it off the land. You can see how many here are drooling over that old dog. 87,600-lb.Fredk, post this on the Antique Caterpillar Machinery Owners board.Optional patented Performance Cutting Edges increase blade payload by up to 25% vs.Semi-Universal (SU) blade capacity increased by 19% to 13.4 cu.Added gear and seamless lockup clutch engagement ensure smooth shifting.Caterpillar-designed fully automatic four-speed transmission continuously optimizes power and efficiency based on the load Find Dealer Request A Price Overview Pushing Your Profits Forward The Cat® D8 (formerly D8T) bulldozer helps you maximize your productivity, even in the harshest conditions.Moves up to 18% more material per hour than the previous model using about the same amount of fuel.To find out details of the auction, please complete the enquiry form.
