This machine was purchased in November 2008 from Mankato State University.  At the time this machine was purchased, it had 4004 actual hours and the bucket and tires were new.  This was a very well taken care of machine.  This machine does have factory A/C.  This machine is one of the nicest payloaders from the 80's that is available.  This machine will get replaced by a newer John Deere payloader.  The above price is for the machine only.  Below is a list of attachments available for purchase with machine.  Machine and attachment prices are NON-NEGOTIABLE unless being traded for a newer payloader.

Machine flaws beyond normal wear
#1 One of the two hydraulic hoses that operate the bucket cylinder is leaking.  This hose was replaces three years ago.  The price at that time was $641 and took me 20 minutes to install.  If you want me to fix this item, add $650 to the purchase price.
#2 One of the two hydraulic hoses from the auxiliary hydraulics is leaking. The leak is between the loader frame and the JRB coupler.  The other hose was replaces three years ago.  The price at that time was $92 and took me 15 minutes to install.   If you want me to fix this item, add $100 to the purchase price.
#3 The center pin on the JRB coupler is loose.  JRB did not offer a replaceable bushing for that coupler.  I have a new pin but the coupler will need to be taken off the machine and line bored.  I received a price from RDO for $800 for this repair.  If you want me to fix this item, add $900 to the purchase price.
#3 The headliner fell down inside the cab in 2019.  The headliner is about $200 and needs to be glued into place.  I won't fix this item.
