I know someone who got a running 782D a couple years ago for under $1000. It's all about waiting and paying the right price. They reason they list so high, is because people will pay it. I guess the only other reason is replacement cost. But we all know that if they were selling the same cubs we collect now for new price they would be unaffordable for most of us. All about the cool factor.....
Where would a person start looking for a replacement engine?
Will the diesels in refrigirator trailers be the usable? You would think there
would be a few of them around
