There is a Boxxer 421 with 4000 hours on it for sale at our local shop. It has been totally gone through. It has a new pump. Preheater cleaned, chem pump rebuilt, everything is working good. The mechanic is reputable. He is asking $7500.
My question....Deal or no deal?

Hey Charlie...probably a fair deal...maybe a little high on the price...

You could kick in a little more and have a LIKE NEW machine from Mr Olson...

I know you would be really happy with the 405...my last Nissan engined unit was still purring along nicely at 8500& hours...and the one that John has refurbished only has 2200 hours!

i think it's too high for a 4000 hour Boxer
gonna need a motor 'fore too long

does the Boxer have an aluminum waste tank?
if so, maybe a waste tank repair coming soon too



..L.T.A.

The tank is in good shape. It has an APO. I am replacing my boxer with it. So I would have mine for parts. I think it is just a little high priced, but it could be worth it.

My second unit is a Boxer. Had it out last week. Nice machine.

Way to high for a 4000 hour machine. You have maybe and I mean maybe another 1000 hours but I'm going to say 5 maybe six if that many. The boxer just doesn't get the same hours on the engines because they run them to high with to much back pressure. I'm sure there is machines out the that have more but 4500-4600 hours is the most I've seen on a 421 before it needed and engine.
P.S. I'd list that machine for $4500 and sell it to the first person that gave me $4000 or I'd put the new engine in and sell it for $7995

I think that pretty much sums it up. Now at least you know where you should stand.
