Gazer61, it's much more helpful to post the page link rather than the C/L posting number. You can only do a search in the correct city with a posting number and guessing what city you found this in can be challenging. Just copy/paste the URL in your post. Easy stuff  :)

EDIT: I'll post the pictures before they disappear from C/L and renders this topic uninteresting.

Wow! What was that beast created for? Snow grooming, or just heavy pulling?
Lots of folks say that OC3's are not good for pushing dirt...have to agree having tried now!
How about OC4s? ...according to Blake's spec sheets on this site, 1st gear is 1.5 mph as opposed to OC3s 2.5 mph
Will an OC4 push dirt OK? Not having that darned track spring will help too I am sure ;-)
Incidentally this wide track beast must be a 60 gauge...you don't see many of those, do ya? Do you reckon you could fit a narrow gauge blade set-up to it?  I am asking because I have such a blade and I love this machine! You'd have fun making fenders for it  - ha ha!

My first thought was it must have been used on the slopes

That is a Series B ski slope tractor. They had one at the Columbus branch to show the dealers when I was there one time.

Hi John. What sort of equipment would this pull or push? It has a rear PTO...I wonder if Floyd Co. has any brochures on his model...if any of you readers have one, I would be happy to pay photocopy or scan costs to get one...many thanks, Chris
