well i hope this is in the right spot,,but anyway....
Paz here from NSW Australia,,am a new oliver owner of about 5 days so far,,got myself a BD series cletrac that has been sitting for god knows how long,,am planning to restore her to as near as original as i can.....biggest drama i have found so far is finding parts for it here in australia,,seems not many people know much about them these days(but i do have some leeds)...
from what i can tell all the under carriage is in great shape,,i havnt opened up the rear end as yet to see if there is any signs of moisture in there,,,,the motor has had the sump pulled off it and one of the pistons has been pulled,,the head and tappet cover have been sitting in its right place so im hoping it has kept most of the water out of it due to it has been sitting in the scrub all these years...
forum looks great and no doubt i will have plenty of Q's to ask over the next few months of the rebuild.....
