I'm going to look at an '06 M7 with a Cutler 800 in it in a few days. The chassis has 8000 kms on it. Is there anything I should be looking for on this sled. This would be my first Cat and just wondering where to look. The motor only has 1800 on it so I'm not too worried about that. Thanks
Forgot to mention that the DD bearings were replaced at 6000
Your 8000km is about 5,000 miles. Top end should be rebuilt around 4,000 miles. Look at when the cutler 800 was done.
I changed my track at that mileage because it was folding over and took set.
Look for a tork arm relocation in the suspension.
Fox shocks? Get the air pump for the front. Make sure the rear rebounds.
Check hours against the miles. Mine shows 4363 miles with 196 Hrs. That is 22 MPH. I ran one year with the Speedo not working. I have over 5,000 miles on mine which bumps it to about 25 MPH.
Look at the plastic. If it doesn't fit right with good lines something is bent.
The tunnel should not have any waves. Look for distortion on the sides where you put your feet.
The hood will show a lot. Trees scratch and that is fine but cracks are from sudden stops or rolls.
I have seen the price form $2500 with a blown engine to $5,000. He has close to $2000 into the 800. Miles will eat that dollar amount up quickly but still add some as long as the compression is close to equal on each side. What the compression should be is something I don't know for the 800.
It will be awesome with the 800 in it. Good luck.
