I would value it somewhere between 8 to 9K IMO sight unseen. The concerns I have with that unit is that the motor is no longer made so parts are hard to find it anything goes wrong. There is a plug and play 31 hp motor that you can put in it if it does fail though. The Bucs coupler is another question mark. You have to check it frequently to keep it from wearing out. It is a pretty good unit though if maintenance is kept up.

Was the machine running in those pics? The pressure guage has froze.

Chris, what motor is the replacement for this? I have one of these machines with almost 4500 hours on it and I am just thinking ahead when it finally goes out.

It's an air cooled briggs. I'll get you the part number when I get to work

Good eye Chris. I couldn't see that on my phone. I would run it to see if there are other leaks and that could drop the value substantially. Tim the part number for the 31hp Briggs is 078-577. It'll run you about $3400 plus labor.

Ive just made that mistake before is all.
