Look what followed me home.

Post by Lavoy » Wed Apr 17, 2013 4:45 pm

This is what followed me home last weekend, and yes, I know the tracks are on backwards, just too lazy to change them right now. Spent a day or two fixing a bunch of little problems and changing fluids and such.

I suppose it self secured itself to the trailer as well. Smart tractor. Can you train my 60 to do that as well?

Many, many years ago, I was harassing my wife about something she bought or was going to buy and her response was, "Well you bought that crawler and I never said anything." I answered her, "No, I didn't buy it, but you thought I did, and you were okay with that?" She said yes, I said just who the hell are you, and what have you done with my wife?! :lol:
This one is actually probably not staying, I have some local guys interested, don't think it will be here long.

Lavoy, is the air cleaner an after market? The chrome oil gauge ups the price for sure. Nice find. How much are you asking? Tom

No clue what that came off of, it is a dry type air cleaner off of an unknown application.
Don't have an exact price, everybody wants something different done to the crawler, or added or changed, etc, kind of hard to keep up. If I don't do anything else to it, probably $3800.

because some one that did not know what they were doing put them on wrong ... the grousers are spouse to be to the front when on top and the over laps don't grab things they shouldn't.... somebody else might have a more scientific explanation of the reason than mine :) :)
