Well 50 year old crawler with 1300 hours is hard to find. That being said the only thing food about the 500 crawler was they were better than the t340 which they replaced. My father was a ih dealer in that times and those little crawlers were fine for a fellow who was going to spread loose stone on us leveling a little land but if they were put to real work parts stated flying. Your deal will go like this (or at least this is my experience after 70 years) You buy it for the $4500 get it home it needs a battery, a few hoses, and things say you spend a thousand the first month then something like the fan comes off the water pump gets the radiator, OK just another 4 or 5 hundred. Three months latter it needs another mid price repair like 6 or 7 hundred. Now we have $6500 or so in the crawler. Then the engine or a final drive goes, you either have to spend another 2500 to 3,000 . Or you can just have a 6500 dollar yard ornament or you have invested clos to 9 grand in a unit that will do very little work. Take part of you $4500 go rent you a skid steer for the week end and see what you can get done. Or take the $4500 wrap it around a rock and toss it. At least that is all you will loose. Forty year old dozer is just a money pit. Hope I am not too hard on you but I have see it time and time again..
