Looking at buying an 1850 Loadstar. 2 axle truck, good tires. It is Red, cab / chassy is in very good condition. 5 yard dump box, not in good condition, but still useable.
Engine is a Turbo, 466DT Diesel
The dump box is just SITTING on the truck, has never been installed. I will need to make hydraulic lines, and I will need a PTO for the truck.
We went up to look at it today, hasn't ran in 6 years. It fired RIGHT off, on two brand new Group 31 batteries.
It smoked a little on starting, but nothing bad at all. Hour meter says TWO hours, yes, TWO. It was supposed to have been "rebuilt" right before the owner bought it, has been a county truck all of it's life.
All in all, here's whats wrong with it:
Brakes do NOTHING. NO pedal what so ever. Has an Air / Hydraulic system, and builds 25 PSI of air fast / steady, but no pedal, and there was no fluid in the can.
The killer on the diesel injection pump is froze up, and the only way to kill it, is to dump the clutch.
He lost the keys to it, and tore the ignition switch out of it, and just hot wired the sh!t out of it! Wires hanging out of the dash, etc.
Other than that, everything seems to be in working order, and the truck is decent. I am concerned about the brakes, and the injector pump.
I traded him a little parts tractor (considering that $300), and I spent $380 on batteries today, is $1000 cash to him too much? I am kind of thinking that it is.
