Bruce: I had a crawler for 10 years that was about that size. Mine was only 9 years old and low time when I got it.. but older well used machines can be very spendy to maintain. Purchase price can be sometimes the smallest cost compared to upkeep. Get someone who knows that model and can advise you about condition. Often "undercarrage" is half the value. Don't take this as a "don't buy" but rather as a better way to evaluate by using an experianced person to check-it-out in person. By the way, I bought mine with one steering clutch not working at a big discount. I played a hunch that it was a bit rusty from nonuse and I was right. I got it working in a couple hours for near zero cost. I enjoyed driving it very much coompared to many wheel units. good luck. ralph
