Have a big industrial model of Ford, third wheel tractor I have owned. Always was intrigued by crawlers. In local supermarket free ad paper saw a notice of an OC3 for sale; turned out to be just a couple of miles from my place.
Owner was a retired logger turned road builder, had at least four versions of old Cletracs on the place but only one in running condition. The OC3 hadn't been running for two years, out in Oregon rain without cover. Finally decided to buy it knowing full well I did NOT need it.
Interesting how lucky some of us are to have wives who understand tractors being a "guy" thing and say, as mine did: "If you want it, go buy it!" Hooboy!
I'm no mechanic but have enough smarts and common sense to recognize when a machine has been neglected, abused and improperly if ever maintained. Now the fun..trying to stir this 1953
OC3 to life. From what I read on the board I will end up spending more money than makes sense but have no other expensive vices apart from my Honda motorcycle. But tractors...aren't they great!!!
