first are you sure its oc3? what year?under magneto is the cast in block date. front idlers solid or holes and they resemble spook wheels? a photo would help . the guys here know alot but there are many versions of the of the crawler,maybe someone else will jumpin if we get more info.

what did you figure out? did a tune up solve the stalling out problem? let us know more, like the year, 12 or 6 volt ,and so on so we can maybe help. your turning problem may be brake bands are bad,or out of adjustment. I hope its going good. take the differencal fill pug out[top left  by turn lever],,look straight across top you should see metal band with a pad on it. if you look close you can see the other side,,no pad no turn so good!  good luck!! and i hope i'm helpfull and not to late to help out.

Hello mr. blake..I was useing the video to show how the nose up and nose down needs some springie movement. My crawler is a 52 oc3 and these men have HG's. being basicaly the same.. It's amazing how you know the models and year of the crawlers. I was guessing the year.
seeya!

  I don'tknow how to say it so here goes.. rethink your suspention! When you go over an obstical your gonna nose up three or more feet , and when you get past center you nose down hard. pivot won't work you need heavy springs your engine weight will be increased by three foot dead drop,,, SNAPP. I'll try to post a youtube tractor race in the 1920's . Sorry but I had to give you 2 cents

well 440 ,,you have been busy , I don't think I could move that fast to do all that in the time you did . that is great ,keep up the good work ! I pulled stumps and brush today ,nothing big cause I don't wanna break my oc3 . tested out the muck swamp too. then washed it.

  I think oc3's only have a three speed.H patern--1st + rev and 2nd +3rd, 1st is to the right forward and revese is back. to the left of the shifter base scrap of crude the shift patern is there. Sounds like shift fork might be bad. my suggesrtion get a manual. just my quess.

that looks great!  not very many oc3 fans around is there?

KAPOU

Good to hear from, ya . I understand about OLD and crawling around under stuff. that lift looks like it was a good investment, make me wish you was my neighbor lol. just letting you know your efferts are interesting,and not wasted. good luck I'll be watchin
