Do any of you guys have experience with a Allis D grader? A friend is considering picking one up, they are asking $9000.00 but I think that they may move some on the price. This thing is in extremely good shape for its age. One nice thing is I don't think it has been repainted (at least recently) so you can easily see any "scars" it has. There is some play in things, but it seems everything with play is in a area that has shims to adjust play. tires are great, engine sounds real good, it has the same engine as the D-17. It is the newer square tube not the old round tube frame.
He obviously doesn't plan on this being a "production " machine, just for the occasional small job and not use his dozer (truth is it will probably just be a toy).
What are you guys opinions on this thing? I know $9000 seem high but this is in great shape, just real old. I know at one time they were a popular little grader and am wondering on what people thought about them? Too much money? Parts supply available? Where they reliable even back when there were more in use?
