Condition
From the seller's description. Not a guarantee of condition.
Market demand: Equipment in Iowa sell about 95% of the time, typically ~20 bids. Based on 184 completed sales over the last year.
A 1969 Caterpillar 955K track loader, a vintage crawler loader with a Caterpillar engine and powershift transmission. Sells to collectors, antique equipment restorers and small farm operations, with limited resale market beyond that niche. The listing gives no running status, so confirm the engine starts and the powershift shifts through all gears, and check the bolt-on cutting edge for wear.
Estimated flip margin and comp range available with Pro. Summary may occasionally contain inaccuracies; check the full description before bidding.
