I can say that because I bought a $600 NAA sight unseen with a stuck engine, completely destroyed transmission, , shot steering box, missing hydraulic parts, rusted through sheet metal, and shot wheels. I have fully rebuilt the engine (including all machine work), replaced the head, fully replaced the transmission, new clutch, rebuilt the hydraulic lift and pump, repaired the sheet metal, repaired the entire front wheels and axle, new brakes, new rear hubs, rebuilt the steering box, repaired the radiator, new tie rod seals, new gauges, new gaskets, all new fasteners, stripped and mostly painted, and a boatload of new parts - I have kept track of all expenses, and my running total is sitting at $4,100 and change. I gaurantee an NAA in the mechanical shape mine is in is worth at least that. And, I am sure the NAA he is looking at is in better shape than the one I started with. I could have reduced this amount if all I was looking to do is JUST get it on it's feet. And just for grins I replaced the hacked up left step with one that had a good original toolbox still installed and working - included in the above cost.. Respectfully, Dan
