Crashedtoys .com has a 97 pete with prentice loader in P.A for bid. 8400 bucks right now! Looks like a heck of a deal!

Wish i was closer, might be something a guy could make a buck on!

Ya, looks like it has good potential.

Hard to tell what happened to that thing. Hit on both sides. Loader and body worth that! Wish it was closer. Bought my skidder sight unseen from down there in PA But this one is too risky.

I live about 40 min from where this is I know who owned the truck it was rolled over loaded on a highway a quarter mile from their shop.

justincase · February 25, 2013, 08:50:18 PM

Salvage rollovers are too risky. How long the engine ran while on it's side would worry me.

Between the moron who drove it and the guy who owned it, wouldn't say their was a stellar maintenance program at that place either. On top of how long it ran laying on it's side. These guys had a western star back in 94 they were winching up a hill cable or choker broke truck rolled down hill broke the frame, said it was western stars fault sued them for a new truck and won. Oh and the driver was pulling the truck alone with skidder. They didn't mention that part of the story.

Guess I am not in a big hurry for a road trip to PA.

Woodhauler · February 26, 2013, 01:29:31 AM

Still worth the money. Had to be a easy lay down. Both windsheilds are whole.

Doesnt look all that bad, frame doesnt look bent and the cab looks ok

Its up over 10,000 now, still seems like a deal though, judging by the pictures anyway. Who knows what it may look like in person

I would say crazyman must have looked at it, he has been bidding from the start.

loggah · February 26, 2013, 06:21:02 PM

If his "Jake" was on the engine would have quit running immediately if it were upside down. Dont ask me how i know!! Don

CTL Logger, sounds like you know these guys pretty well. Thats unfortunate. :D

CTL logger · February 27, 2013, 09:56:32 AM

Don't know them personally, just know when ya talk to him the hair on the back of your neck stands up. I see it sold for 16200 I was watching it and the auction site added extra time twice thought that was strange?

Did crazyman get it?

If not, then crazyman was likely just pushing up the bid and had a personal interest in the money it brought in. Especially if extra time was added. But whoever bid last and paid for it was responsible for their own actions, regardless.
