Little info on us---we're both 67, just retired in last 6 months, bought my Dad's crawler he used digging pits for his oil drilling company, it was originally orange (possibly a State unit), then painted yellow (hoses, wires, etc!). I call her Callie
because of the splotched, speckled paint, rust and bare metal (sue me, I'm a woman!). She has had many mods done prior to my dad's purchase. Looks like the 6-way blade was a addition, from the welds mounting things to the back of the blade, the left cylinder looks original, but the right is a later retrofit (position as seen from the operator position). Some hoses seem to be too long, one brake master looks like a old replacement, the other is original (and frozen). But she sounds strong (a can has always been over the exhaust), and until the subject of my first post, we were having a blast pulling massive dead trees. Hope we can keep her going!
