New to this forum and sure seems to be a fine bunch here to help people like me understand more about the small dozer world.
I have been looking for a dozer to do work around my small farm of about 300 ac. I recently have came across a Case 850E, but don't know enough about dozers to properly evaluate them. The owner reports that he will replace the sprockets and service the machine. The sprocket on the right side of the dozer is very sharp and is obviously needing replaced, but the one on the left has not worn nearly as bad. What's up with that? There are several of the track pads/shoes that are pretty loose. Is the loose pads anything to be concerned about? Seems like a pretty easy fix with a cutting torch and new bolts, but when should the pads be replaced? The rest of the U/C seems fairly decedent and appears to have been replaced at one time.
Can anyone talk about the pro and cons of this make and model and if 15K is two much $ for this type and size dozer. Does Case still sell parts when it breaks and what about aftermarket parts? I have heard that older Case is a pretty reliable dozer. What about the torque converter, do they still make machines with that type of setup? I,m thinking this machine does not have a turbo. Is this a plus or minus for the dozer of this size? The machine seems pretty tight as far as the engine and hydraulics with everything seeming to be in working order. This machine has 7800 hrs. showing and the owner thinks it is a 1994 model and has been on his farm since about 1998. So almost a one owner machine.

Not sure about the price range for a dozer of this age and # of hours. Any advice is appreciated.
