Oliver made several sizes of crawler tractors from the OC-3 up to the OC-18. The OC-3 was, I believe, essentially a rebadged Cletrac HG after Oliver purchased them, and some of the others were based on wheeled models of Oliver tractors. We have an OC-4 that did all of our snowplowing duties until Gramp bought a 4x4 Ford pickup with a plow in 1988, and then it just did the spots, such as our sugarbush, where the truck couldn't easily get in. They were a handy little crawler for a small dairy farm like ours, and we also used it for working land too wet to get a wheeled tractor on, skidding logs in winter, moving and leveling dirt, and similar chores. It had a hydraulic lift blade with manual angle--you pulled two pins and could move it from roughly 45 degrees left to straight to 45 degrees right. I can't speak to the military versions though it wouldn't surprise me if there were some, as a small crawler is certainly handy to have around in a military setting.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
