BidProwl Summary
This is a Caterpillar front loader in salvage condition with new tires, driver seat, and bucket, though it has intermittent starting issues, a leaking steering cylinder, and engine blow-by that causes occasional smoking. Contractors and heavy equipment resellers buy these units to repair and redeploy on job sites or flip after mechanical work. Before bidding, verify the starter and ignition system directly, pressure-test the steering cylinder to confirm the leak severity, and pull the dipstick to assess blow-by carbon buildup and engine wear.
