Don, I've bought five 310's in the last 8 months, all less than $750. The one for $750 ran, but needed engine and undercarriage rebuilt. Working crawlers can be found for $2K and up. Good condition for around $3500, and a fresh rebuild for $5 - $6K. The sprockets and axles are what fails most on these crawlers. These parts are available new and used at about $250 for each item. I'm finishing one now that has a loader. It has a completely rebuilt engine, with new pistons, sleeves, intake valves, ground crank, hot tanked and line bored block, new clutch disk, refaced pressure plate and flywheel. New electrical including alternator, wires, lights, switches etc. Rebuilt final drive with new bearings and sprocket on one side. Undercarriage has been freshened. Any worn part was replaced as needed. All new fluids, including antifreeze, motor oil, hydraulic fluid, and gear lube. All new paint with paint on all surfaces before being assembled. It was pressure washed and wire wheeled on the undercarriages, frame and sheetmetal. I have it running now and need to assemble a few more parts. It will be available in about two weeks. I have been laid off from work and it was my project tractor. I need to sell it because my tractor money account is drained. Now I'm back to work and need to get on with normal plans.
