Hello all,
I am new to this forum and new to crawlers in general. I am currently in the process of buying a Cletrac model BD serial number 13D524. I am looking for any advise I can get. The owner said he was using it several years ago, when he lost oil pressure. Instead of stopping and finding out why, he kept using it and locked the engine up. The muffler has broken off leaving the exhaust open to snow and rain. I am worried that the combination of the initial damage and possible water in the engine that is not rebuildable. Are there any other diesel engines from other Oliver tractors that will work to replace it? Also, does anyone know how much it weighs so I can pay the owner what he would get for scrap. Thanks in advance! I can post a couple photos if anyone would like.
