I've been looking for a payloader. Found one nearby very low hours, never worked in heavy construction. Pushed a train for it's entire life. It's going on auction. The people listing it said the brakes are bad. I called the mechanic shop and they said $17,000 in parts or $22,750 parts/labor. Can this be real? Said it needs Disc, Shoes and possibly calipers. The calipers were $3,000/piece. Are there any places a person could buy calipers cheaper? Found other places online for the other components but no calipers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Any idea what I should offer for the machine?
Thank you all for your help.
I was looking for a 966c but this machine has very few hours on it and is in my back yard....
