Have the oppertunity to purchase a big L crawler, always been inside and still is, uc is still atleast 85% if not better, has a hyd baket blade on it and a bolt on hardnose, really is in great shape doesnt run currently but it does turn over, and I am sure wouldnt take too much as they parked it years ago in a dry shed, of course it is a gas with 2 carbs and it is a big engine, what would this be worth and what would it weigh, Thanks, dustin and what years were they made

The L was built from 1931 to 1942. The early ones (1931-1935) had steering wheels. Weight is 22000-23000 pounds. 3357 were made. No idea on the price.

Well, there is probably not a big market for something that big.... It is a shame, because they seem to be pretty scarce as far as seeing them about. Probably something to do with their size.
 
Just because something is scarce, doesn't always translate to a big market or a big price.
The NOS IB pintle hitches I got are a good example... Only a couple people felt they really wanted one, (at more than scrap price).
 
Probably worth $2500 or less if you were selling it by the hundred weight at the yard.

i bet there are not very many around, would be a neat piece.  it was the largest crawler before the introduction of the HD series with detroit engines.  if it was an LO it would be worth more i would think.

Depending on the price, if you dont want it, I might. It would look nice with our WK.  Let me know if you end up passing on it. 
Thanks.

I am not a dozer guy, but it sounds like you could have an opportunitiy for interesting hoby and a chance to save history. If the mechanical aspects are solid, it is probably something really interesting to work on. I doubt if it will ever be a money making project, but turning a buck doesnt drive me when I look at older equiptment. You would likely have the only one at any show, and as a result be a reall show stopper.
