    Cat D5 SN 96J5682 questions and advice

    Should I buy this Cat 977H?

    The listing says it starts and runs but won’t brake or steer. I have a Cat D7E. Is the brake adjustment similar? If so I might go look at it and see if I can just adjust the brakes and get it steering enough to load on a lowboy. Any thoughts about what else I should look for?
