From the seller's description. Not a guarantee of condition.
Market demand: Equipment in Missouri sell about 93% of the time, typically ~23 bids. Based on 291 completed sales over the last year.
A 1997 Caterpillar 938F wheel loader, a mid-size loader with a 365 cu.yd. rated bucket listing, and hours unknown. Quarry operators and salvage parts buyers are the likely customers, and the play is parts-out or a rebuild. The listing notes a cracked glass, unreadable hour meter, missing climate knob, sticking throttle, and a dead water temperature gauge, so price in glass replacement and throttle repair before bidding.
Estimated flip margin and comp range available with Pro. Summary may occasionally contain inaccuracies; check the full description before bidding.
