I have found an LT70 with a 65hp Cat on it I think it has 4600 hours on it and has been kept mostly out of the weather I'm not sure on the year model .
My main concern is what is the average live of a motor like that being a diesel I know it would be expensive to replace . I imagine a mill with that amount of hours that is properly seviced probably still have plenty of hours of cutting still left in it . I looked on sawmill exchange to get an idea of what a mill of that class was selling for but they didn't have any listed . So does anyone have a ballpark idea of a good price ?
             Thanks

If the maintenance has been kept up, you should be looking at least another 4600 or more, lots of lumber in this time frame,   david

I would get the serial number and call Wood-Mizer.   They can tell you the complete history of the mill and market value. The rest of us would be like the audience on The Price is Right.
