Modern Doodlebug

This is located in Idaho. 4wd. Diesel. Closed cab. 3 point. 3rd function. No way I’d fawk with a doodle bug if I could buy this for $6k. Plow any dam thing you want to.

 
Well, yeah. Sell me one cheap:flipoff2:
You’re going to have look around for shit sitting behind people’s barns to cannibalize for this thing. Tires and a loader off an old skid steer here, maybe an engine and hydraulic pump out of an old tractor or forklift some place else. Then weld it together and add gin poles and a winch.

I don’t need it but I’d buy that if it was closer.

just the same as a power steering pump, it's an open center loop so it doesn't make any pressure until you are using the hydraulics
fluid/pump just idling along doesn't make any heat

Was thinking more of the belt life than the pump life.
 
A new Tahoe or burb costs noticably
More than the Silverado with the same options but ten years later the Silverado is a lot more valuable simply due to demand for older pickups verses demand for older SUVs
Same with wagons vs sedans. Utility has value.
 
There's shortbus4x4 's M715 chassis here, that we're parting due to a tree on it.

Come get it, send him the parts he wants and you have a perfect, HD doodle bug start.

Suspension that doesn't move for shit, HD frame and axles, that are geared too fucking high for street, etc.

That size and bigger tractors occasionally comes up for pretty cheap. I tried really hard a few years ago to convince myself I needed a Big Bud lawn ornament because it was for sale for $3500 in running condition. He's gonna be his whole budget into shipping it but based on the Herc he is building his expectations around it should be about right capabilities wise.

It’s in the correct state already. I bet he can get it hauled on a low boy for a thousand bucks or less.
