Oliver OC3 first long test drive

I have always liked the look of the Cletrac HG/Oliver OC3 crawlers and last August there were five of them in the Vintage Tracks Museum auction near Canandaigua NY. I bid on and won the Oliver OC3. I got it running within a couple days of getting it home, but it had a number of issues I have been working on slowly over the fall and winter. Last weekend I had it put back together and took it for its first long drive up in the woods. It was fun running through snow and ruts without effort that I know my Fergusons and MF50s wouldn?t have made it through easily, or at all.
Did anyone here pick up any of the HGs from that auction? If so, I wondered how you did getting them up and running? You never know what you might find from a static museum display that you can?t test drive before you buy.
I posted a youtube video of some of the test drive.

Thanks for posting the video I enjoyed it nice Oliver OC3, I'm curious about the bridge is it private or?

A few years back a local snowmobile club had bridged a creek and each spring high water would take it out. So they got creative and built a suspension bridge that they could crank up before the spring rains and thaw. Worked great. Been there for years.
 
Nice little wide guage. I had a chance to buy a nice one for $700. I drug my feet to long and I have been kicking myself ever since.:(
 
(quoted from post at 10:52:19 03/11/20) Yes, the bridge is a private trail. It is built on a 45' flatbed trailer.
