Alright, so I went out to the meadow to have a look at the little cat. Here is what I found:
There is a Data Plate on the RIGHT side of the engine (picture included) it says it is a IXK-3 Number: 2403007
The large front discs (idlers right?) have a large rib in the center that the track goes over (picture included)
I had a look at where he broke the frame, and it is right where the track supports bolt to the frame rails. It has been fixed, however I am not too sure that it is safe!!! Anyway, I will deal with that problem later!
Soooo, what is the next step to find the year? As you can see the machine is pretty well butchered up, and I don't want to restore it unless I can find a different cat with good, solid frame rails! A guy said that he would sell me another one, no engine, or tracks, for about $250. That would give me all of the linkage I would need + the frame rails + plus the seat, throttle, and all that little stuff!
