Hello all.
I have been looking off and on for a crawler for some time now. I came across a potential 1948 MC. I don't have the serial numbers yet but looking at the pics in the ad I see the Drive sprocket has round holes (like a 420) instead of the spokes I see in most of the pics that I can find. Are these the correct drive sprockets for a 1948 (or 1949) MC?
The crawler runs and steers good, It does need one roller otherwise the tracks look pretty good. do you think it is worth $3000?
I tried linking to a pic, I hope is shows up.
Thanks for your help.

No, those are 420, 430, 440 sprockets someone has put on there. You are also missing track frame covers, and expect to put in more than one roller, that is just the nature of a 3 roller crawler.
Pretty good looking crawler, and as long as the rest of it is good, not a bad price.

What kind or model blade is that?

Should be a 60 on a MC but a 61 looks basically the same and was available on the 40 and 420.
nothing crawles like a deere

Moldbaord is home made, but the rest is MC60.

Well guys I passed on this one.
The rollers were in to bad of shape.
I'm still on the hunt for a John Deer Crawler.
I'm going to check out a 420 next week, I'll post some pics after I get back.
The problem with it is the owner is asking $5000 for it. I hope it's a good one.
The search continues.
