I have found an DDHS Oliver crawler.....it is in immaculent condition. Everything is in great shape on it except for the tracks witch are completely shot. The man wants only 2500 for it and it had a new clutch put in it and new fibers on the steerin mechanisum. The Herules diesel fired up with bout half a crank and sounded so pretty. How hard are the tracks for this unit to come up with?? I am asuming that the same tracks of a DG would work? I don't exchanging the tracks will be that hard sense i have a cousin who owns a few heavy duty wreckers. I would like to find a set of good tracks for this machine. Can anyone help me? I am a young pup (only 18) and i need all the advice and encouragement i can get.  I am Located in Charleston WV. I am going to call Landis monday and see what he has to say about it. Well i look for to reading ur thoughts and comments about my find. Thanks

Brandon, I sent you a personal message about tracks - let me know if you got it.

My gramps Howard van Driest was Experimental Engineer at Cletrac and Oliver Corporation. After the plant closed, he and my uncle started an excavating business, initially using Cletrac and Oliver Crawler tractors.

Click "your control panel / options" and check "instant messages U2U" for your personal messages. I thought it would pop up with a message, but I guess it won't. I will email you what I said.
