Helping a customer sell his modified 1202. Serial number in the 770 range. Still has a 4 door cab, but has been modded into a "extra cab" to make more bed space. 4 speed manual, hydraulics F&R. Belting is functional but weak, 2 tires not holding air, the rest are weatherchecked. Seats are worn. Gas in tank is varnished and brakes are not working. :sad:
On the plus side, the cat was operating and driven in a barn about 8 years ago. Cab is overall pretty good shape, no rust anywhere. I could clean the carb and get it to run if someone was really interested, but i am sure it will run and function (less brakes).
Don't really know where to start this at, but I'll stick my neck out at 7500. Trailer is available also for 2950.00.

Located in Gunnison, Colorado.

If i am WAAAAYYYY out of line and you want it, let me know. It is going to be sold, so I guess the market will set the value...Thanks for looking!

some one want to tell me what kind of diff is in the rear of that it's not an oc-12 also doug give me a call some time I would love to chat for a minute some time.

ps be persistent my company phone went down I have it set to forward to another number. and it doesn't always work
 
Looks like an OC-4 to me. not a 2 speed. Don, I lost your #, PM it to me.
 
Correction: I give up, looks like a straight axle OC-12, as in this pic:

This would have been a great start for nixsons project.

Straight axle 12 is a nice diff to have.

what motor?
 
Ford Industrial 6, pretty narrow valve cover, appears to have the intake as part of the head and it is on the LH side of the engine. I think that makes it a 200.
 
Hey Beartooth, called and left a message. Thanks for the interest!
 
Correction, the intake is on the RH side of the engine if you are sitting in the driver seat.
Currently in the process of cleaning the carb to get it running and attempting to rebuild brake master cylinders. hopefully it will be running and moving by the weekend. Stay tuned!
 
Now Running!

Cleaned the carb and replaced the fuel filter and now running. Sounds pretty darn good too!
 
So I rigged an electric fuel pump (the OE one not pumping) and let her run a while. Sounds REALLY good, nice and smooth. I got the LH steering brake to pump up and backed it off the trailer. Moves forward and backward and the clutch engages nice and smooth. Looking more and more like a great rig for someone...
 
Brakes on both sides now working. Had to adjust RH side significantly more the LH side. Machine does come with another set of brake bands (look good) and several MC and SC rebuild kits. Some complete, some not and 3 additional MC's for rebuilding as well as a couple SC's.
 
Still available, I'll call a little later today. Thanks for the interest! :clap:
 
Update:
I was talking to the owner the other day and mentioned hours. He told me the engine had a complete rebuild (bored, pistons, rings, bearing, etc.) 2 seasons before they parked it. He estimates it has 50-100 hours on the engine and clutch. I can believe it the way it runs.
Things at the shop are slowing a little and I may pull the fuel tank for cleaning and install a electric fuel pump. I feel with these repairs, the rig should be able to be used as-is this winter and be ready for additional repair/restoration this upcoming summer.
Trailer is still available. Thanks for looking!
 
It is now in Utah and I am really excited about getting this nice machine back in service, it shouldn't take much. Thanks again Doug.
 
Thank you Jeff, glad you guys made it home safe and sound!
I think you scooped the rest of the gang on this one. Please post pics as your project progresses!
