Lavoy and others,
what is story on this...seen other bb's discussing ex. jd60 made into crawler with 2010 uc....if so can reverse be viable..since uc's are culprit in scrapping
sure hate to see alll this scrapping going on.....
i know wouild be slow for tired type units...but least not scrapped to China at that...

It could be done, but the parts involved would be more than the value of the crawler or tractor when it is done. Much of the time when they are scrapped, there is not enough left to save anyway, but I know what you mean.
