Picked this up yesterday. I was ready to buy it two months ago but the guy told me it was sold. Then I saw it listed again on CL. Seems the 'Buyer" had said he would come get it before that end a November and never did.
I had deleted our old emails. But if I remember right the guy said it is a "52 OC3.
It had thrown a rod. Has a 4 cylinder gas engine with a magneto. The guy had pulled the oil pan and head four years ago. Guess he left the head off and just put the tin back over it. Cylinders were full of birds nest and Dirt Daubers. Needless to say it is stuck solid. I crawled under it and looked real good. It don't look like the block was hurt. Had a hole in the oil pan.
Came with a seven foot dozer blade and a bucket. I figure it will be good for mowing down my Black Locust if non-then else.
The guy said he was using it as a dozer. But I don't know yet if it has the step down transmission.
He also seemed to think many different engines could be installed in it with out much trouble. He was told there is a six cylinder diesel Toyota engine that could be put in it. Thats what he was wanting to install.
Tracks and sprockets look good as far as I can tell.
Got all the tin in back of the truck.
Let me know what you guys think.
Should be a fun project. As if I needed another project.
I'm mostly a Ford guy found on the 'N' Broad most of the time.
