Not sure about that one. I have a 560B and a 875 and they have Detroits: 453, 471. Looks like a Detroit with a turbo.
What's your ability and time to work on these? I've had to do work on various sections of mine, but haven't had to rebuild any engines. The 875 with the 471 was seized when I got it, but got it loose and runs great - it had been sitting for 15 years or so when I came across it. One thing of mine (early 70's models), is they are made of real steel. A little up keep goes a long way, I don't think they make them like they used to. It can be worth it if you have digging to do and it's handy to have, but like anything old, they need work. I haven't had any experience with final drives on Insleys. It's got a nice paint job at least.
If everything is working well (no hyd leaks, or track issues) it might be worth it. Any issues and that price is high IMHO.
Good luck, keep us posted!
