Almost ready for the maiden voyage!

Post by FarmLife » Tue Feb 19, 2008 11:43 pm

Well, we got the tracks turned around, one new tension spring, one new front idler wheel, freed up the left side clutch, e-bay engine installed, all fluids changed, carb rebuilt, generator rebuilt, new radiator, and new seat & seat back. The last thing we are waiting on is the valves and seats to be ground and we should be ready to take it for a spin!

Those are good looking pads on your crawler.

I'm just curious, I see that you have the loader for sale. What made you decide not to use it on your MC? .. Ray

Well the loader is a big scary looking thing, and we just would not use it at all. Plus we like it more as the agricultural crawler than one with a loader, our main plan for now is to use the crawler to drag logs out of the cattle pasture. Plus we have a much bigger tractor with a loader to use when we need to lift anything.

Plus we need the money to get our D running and get some more parts to complete the crawler.

I was looking at your other post of the manual for this and at your eBay auction. It is quite an arrangement of tubing.
I wouldn't think a whole lot of those were sold for the MC.

A MC with this on it would draw a lot of interest at tractor shows.
Hope someone buys it from you that can use it or put it on a crawler they just show, so it doesn't end up in the scrap yard. .. Ray
