French 420 crawler (sort of) 2 cyl diesel NOT Detroit

For sale in southern France. My cousin told me about it.

Two cylinder diesel - of what make, who knows? Certainly not a USA Detroit 2-53 like the 440s had here.

Hi,

Base machine is an MC. I can't place the engine at all.

Oh, the things that happen to machines over the decades, eh?

Happy and Merry!

No idea on the engine, but with out a belly pan on it they'd be looking for another one pretty soon if they were running in the woods a whole lot. Come to think of it I dont think I'd want to run a crawler in a field with out a belly pan, I tend to get a little nervous about that sort of thing. Kinda like doing track work in sandels :shock:
