All tires up, all sheet metal except grill is there. It turns over but battery was really weak. None of the lights or gauges worked. What do you think? [Reply]   [No Email]

Found a Great Bend 330 loader that was like new for $1500.00.Found a pair of good used rear tires chaap. Have less than $3500.00 in it now. $2500.00 is way too much. [Reply]  [No Email]

My dad and our local welder said basically the same. Im walking away since they wont sell for scrap price. Owner was looking online for air cleaner parts and saw what running ones sell for; he wants $2500 now! [Reply]  [No Email]

I don't think a 574 could pull the hat off of your head. [Reply]  [No Email]

I like it for the price in every way. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]

That loader frame is trash, and can not be trusted, so the loader don't add much value to it. That $1500 you said was still a good deal possibly, why doesn't it run and drive? [Reply]  [No Email]
