With those hours in those crops, it shouldn't require too much. Basically just give it a good going over. look at the rasp bars and elephant ears on the rotor to see how much life is left in them. It's hard to check the transport vanes with the rotor in, but they might need replacing in the next 500 hours. look at the bushings in the shaker arms, if cracked, they might need replacing. look at the pivot point on the shaker drive arm. This is right behind the offset shaft that runs the shaker system. See if it has the big skeletonal cast piece where the arm pivots. If not, the sheetmetal will probably be cracked, and it needs the update. This is easist to see on the drivers side of the machine, but it needs to be on both sides. On the right side, it will be behind the big shaker drive pulley. Check out the feeder chain and the elevator chains. look at all augers, especially the vertical unloading auger and the inclined delivery auger in the grain tank. Shake all pulleys and shaft ends top check for bearing wear. Price will vary widely depending on location. I'm certainly no value expert. Most of the machines I've seen with low hours like that are newer, and are well over $100,000 USD, without a header. Around here it would probably be worth $95,000 USD, with no header.
