Hi everyone, I have a chance to buy a 1936 caterpillar twenty two from a guy at work for 500$. It has no blade, no PTO model, and is a crank start. As of right now it's partially taken apart, because the "reverse idler gear" is bad in it. He swears the tractor ran before he took the engine out and the rest of the tractor apart, my big question is and this may be subjective, is it worth trying to make this a running machine or would it be best as parts for another tractor? I've looked online, and it seems in order to replace that gear, I would have to find a parts tractor for it or possibly have one made ($$$$?). I would have to make a blade for it, and probably a cab. Having a blade would mean getting rid of the crank start to run a pump of the front of the motor because there's no pto, I could mount an electric winch to the back and run over the top cable system also. I would only be able to pull start it with the hydraulic pump on there unless I went to an electric start conversion which i'm not sure how easy that is to do either. I'm trying to justify a light use dozer on a budget, for around the farm clean up amongst other things and also because I think it should be saved as well. I'm I crazy for trying to make this work?
