    Obviously modern units can spin a 360. The Oliver and case with the differential steering cannot.

    I like the style with the dozer carriage between the tracks vs outside.

    Mr fuzz, I'll dig out my manuals and magazines. See if I can scan and email them to you or pm them here. At a minimum, I can get you the magazine issue numbers so you could back order them. Thats how I got several.

    This is how easy the steering bands are to access in an Oliver.

    I haven't done one but it it can't take too long. If there is a pto out back that will add time because its in the way I believe.

    Hate to butt into this convo boys, but I've got a mint HG crawler with the Hercules engine and a monster winch on the back. Runs like a dream, but I just don't use it. Too nice to beat around the woods for me. I'd let it go reasonable to the right person. IE take care of it and don't beat the chit out of it, but use it and keep it moving.
