Condition
From the seller's description. Not a guarantee of condition.
A 2005 John Deere 544J 4WD articulated wheel loader with a general purpose bucket, listed not driven and in need of work. Buyers are mainly parts sellers and rebuild shops, since the listing says all cylinders need rebuilding, hoses are badly worn, and a left front tire is flat. Before bidding, read the attached condition report for the seta and pin wear, and price the cylinder rebuilds and tires into your number, since those costs drive the outcome.
