OC-46 Info Wanted

I'm in the market for an oc-46 (heavier duty, more made for use than oc-3) and I understand that there are two basic groups, series a and series b. A's were original and had 4 cyl gas (mostly) and the series b's are 3 cyl gas/diese with a different appearance.

Overall is there an accepted bias towards one variant of the 46 over the others? I absolutely need one of these for general have-to-have-one reasons. I'll find something to do with it, but I don't have a task I have to have done. Looking at a series a with loader and scarifier. Figure all the crawlers go for ~1500 (not sure if it runs but looks good group) and more the better condition.

Looking for what everybody knows, ie stay away from xxx and "you really want xxx". Are the 4 cyl engines pretty good, I know they are not sleeved and people say the 3 cyls run circles around them.

Looked at cletrac.org, but looks like that place is pretty low on members.
 
I think you should be advised that the potty filters on classic go nuts when they see xx x, they think it is dirty or something. If you have to use a sequence for a number use nnn not xx x. That is why your original post did not make it to classic.

Shinnery- thanks for the info, I was wondering why nobody was even reading the thread. Thanks for the reply, I just piggy backed off it.
