Hi All, Well we now own a OC6.Have to sort out a fuel pump for it but the guy assures us it will go. We have a friend who wants to swap the OC6 for his AD ,with us adding dollars of course. Blake would you be able to put up the specs for the AD please .Or tell us how to access the info on the site? As it would be of interest to us to see the specs on all the crawler tractors.In australia  the british standard machinery company must have been the importers of these machines as we have a dozer operations handbook put out by them that shows the range of oliver machines avalilable at the time . OC18,DDH,OC12,BDH,AD AND OC3 . The OC6 has an ID plate in place showing sold by dominion motors in brisbane queensland .the serial no is 1r 0606 and engine no of 1956848. Thanks for the info so far .ian.

This link http://cletrac.org/media/pictures/specs ... AD2_25.jpg will take you to the specs for the AG and early AD2 diesel, which used a Buda engine. I don't have a spec sheet handy for a later AD, but the tractor specs should be similar.

Hi Blake, Thanks once again for the infomation .And will let you know when we get it home .ian.

Your AD will be a little larger crawler. The OC-6 is the track version of the Oliver 77 Wheel tractor. The diesel never got the larger 216 cubic inch engine. You get it home send me a picture.
