buy it.

the paint is good. there is little rust.

to rent one of these is $200 + an hour.

what to watch out for:

leaking hydraulic pistons, leaking
hydraulic lines. Looks like there
may be an oil leak, the pan is
covered with black. Oil leak is
no big deal, but engine running
with low oil is a NO. There is
a seal between the pan and
the crankcase. This is probably
leaking.

Looks like someone just put
new plugs in it. The battery
may not hold a charge, or
the Generator might be out.

These are great old machines.
Built to last, not to break.

By the look of it, it is at latest
a 1960's machine. 60 + 45 = 2005.
It's been around for 45 years, and
will stay around if you keep it
clean and maintained.
