Hey all just wanted to introduce myself.  I picked up my first crawler this past week.  It's a 62 OC46 PL Series B setup as a light duty skidder with a gearmatic winch on the back and some degree of ROPS.

Changed the engine oil/filter and checked all the fluids along with doing some other repairs and greasing before giving it a shakedown run yesterday hauling a few small logs around.

Things I know I need to address before putting it into service are a cracked radiator, not currently charging(needs a regulator), leaking final drive but I need to see if that just ends up getting topped off for a while.

It'll be used for chores around the property and primarily skidding logs for firewood.
