If you have good tracks (and I assume you mean all undercarriage parts) KEEP IT. The rest of the stuff you mention is all standard repair work with parts readily available. The direction reverser might be the exception but if you can adjust it to work in the forward position, just leave it there until you have time or an interest to fix it. Gil

I guess I would fix it, but maybe I am the wrong guy to ask, if it had no finals and a hole in the block I would probably rebuild it. :lol:
