Popular Post Valiant Posted September 15, 2013 Popular Post Posted September 15, 2013 I finally managed to get this home today after about 2 months of negotiation with a local "collector". It's an Oliver HG crawler tractor from around 1952 that has been fitted with quite a solid bulldozer blade. It's been partially dismantled at some stage and the original flat head engine has been replaced with a Ford Consul motor which is now stuffed too. The fuel tank is a nice touch Part of the deal is a Oliver flathead engine that is in a header, I'll go and get it next weekend at some stage. I think to get it running though a small car engine will be the go. It will be good to gut all the old crap off, and ditch the old motor and box. I have the old bonnet, grill, leg guards, fuel tank, blade and mounting frame. The kids think it's cool too. So feel free to tell me why it needs a 1UZ Gilmore pulleys and modgies. 26 Quote

flyingbrick Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 That is so so so cool. How does it control the tracks? Does it have a diff and fiddle brakes? Or clutches? 1 Quote

It has a diff and brakes brakes. This isn't my one mind you. Apparently they don't completely stop the side being braked so they can't spin on the spot. 2 Quote
