This unit since new has been owned by the port commission in the state of LA and has been on a strict service/maintenance program, it cranks, runs, and operates properly, the unit pulls in forward and reverse, the interior is in good condition, the seat has a couple tears in the seat bottom, the exterior is in good condition, pontoons/undercarriage is in good condition and operates properly.  The unit has been working in South LA in salt/brackish water since new and does have rust damage, pretty severe in places but it's the thin cab metal, no main boom, turntable or heavy/thick metal issues, thin metal on bottom of cab is where it is severe, unit has les than 5k hours and still seems to have plenty of life left in it!  In this area these units are loaded and hauled without being dismantled, if the buyer is from far away and needs to dismantle, we can assist with a 6k# forklift if needed but do not have a crane on site, buyer will have to arrange for crane if needed.
