Ok...here goes.
Friend called Sunday night. Said he had an old tractor from his dad's estate...did I want it. If not it's going to scrap.
Well, I ask how much. He said nothing...if I did not want it...it's junk.
I told him ok, but let's look it over before he sends it to China. Last night while I was at work he used my gooseneck to haul it over.
He called me about 10:30 and said he had set it in the field by the shed on the trailer. He could not unload it by himself...and it was all mine.
I went over this AM to look at what was what.
There set my trailer with the winch cable all balled up in a mess and a crawler setting on the trailer. No blade, no bucket...just the tractor.
I crawled up on it and it seems to be all there. It has Oliver on it so I suppose that is what it is. It as a faded HG on the hood. It has a 4 cylinder gas engine that looks complete except for the carb. I used an old crank and the engine is free.
Dad had a few old Olivers years ago but they were Super 55 and Super 77 models. I never paid a lot of attention to them as my wants were all red and the other green.
So, what do I have and is it worth keeping? I have little use for a crawler...not a lot to do with it.
