Uncle ex SeaBee had a 4-B like that. Ran it a lot for him. Good tractor. Oil clutch. Had D6 jacks. Changed it over to one in the middle Euc style. Ran a lot quicker. Had the heavy radiator guard to hook it to. Thanks much. Blessings
I like the crowbar analogy I've only ever heard that once before from an old lad that ran dozers since he came home from the war Thanks for another great video 👍
Oh that's a saweeeet smooth sounding CAT. It's be a hoot to operate. Ermm, those super swamper track pads are unreal in the mud. I drove one of those old Komatsu Galeo crawler dumpers with them swamp pads. One day I slid one side, tipping into a black loon p00p hole on a 45, the water was at the cab door. Slammed full throttle, yanked er' right, Galeo stood straight up I was lookin at the blue sky and she' got out, I almost kissed the windshield when she landed. Dave the owner watching, was nee-slap laffing at me. Everytime I see them kinda tracks, I think of the Galeo.
Rice paddy machine. I looked at quite a few of the gray market units like that. Not much to go wrong with them. Biggest issue is people didn't know how to adjust the clutches and when they would start to slip, they didn't know make the adjustments before they started tearing up the disks. Those pads also wore out the chains some kind of fearsome fast. With the right operator, that machine could do a whole lot of work.
@@brotherhoodofram8967 The theory behind their design is that they "self-clean" meaning that as they pick up mud, it keeps getting pushed down the sloped sides of each pad until it falls off. Basically, there aren't any edges or corners where it can pack in and stay.
Nice clean and straight clatterpiller. Nice find Todd. Make someone a good tractor. Take care. Fred

Wish I wasn’t clear up in BC. I’d give him that much in a heartbeat. Having it hauled back to Michigan would be the expensive part.

That little Cat swamper looks exactly like one I low bedded around the Fraser Valley back in the mid 70's
Love those mud tracks! Always best videos!

Nice Cat!! Definitely a machine worth investing it! 👍👍
Sonny’s excavating had one in the 80s I used to run

Sounds healthy, can't beat an old clatterpiller
The grousers are odd. I've never seen those style before, what are they called?
We always called them pyramid pads, they are for really muddy conditions. But they don’t like rocks at all!
@keithwood4297 gotcha. I've never heard or even been around them so it is neat to see them.

Thanks Todd for your usual great local content
I've run them in wet gumbo before down in Oklahoma. They work really good in those conditions.
transmission has same pattern as the old d7 3t
