How many post do I have to make before I can attach pictures? I can browse for pictures, and load them, but I don't see a way to attach them. Thanks

1953 OC-3 with 3HI loader. This crawler has been in the family since the early 60's.
1957 OC-3 with 3WI loader and a Trasco Aux Transmission, purchased from original owner.
1960 OC-6 Gas with 3-point hitch, live PTO and rear hydraulic remotes. This crawler is one of the last five gas crawlers produced. I am the third owner.

There is no minimum posts to allow you to attach pictures. I see you have two pictures attached, but they are not showing up in the post. I'm wondering if it's because the word small in parenthesis is in the file name? That may cause a problem. Try taking that out and reposting.

Try again. Here are some pictures from the track pivot bushing replacement. I also flipped the sprockets from side to side. Les

Well the pictures show up sometimes. Clicking the red X, or the link and then open, will bring them up also.

Here are the extended track frames. I use this machine to brush hog a lot of low ground, so I wanted all the flotation I could get. It really turned out nice. It is now a 5 roller, with 37 pads. I bought a brand new set of military surplus tracks off ebay a year ago, they were 36 link, so all I did was get 1 link and roller for each side from Landis Zimmerman.  Les

Here is what the original machine looked like with the brush hog, it only had 8" tracks. Now they are 10", and longer. Here is a picture of the area after cutting. All the brush was between 1/2" and 1-1/2", some over 8' tall.  Les

After sitting for more than two years and getting a new clutch, rebuilt PTO, and NOS tracks, the OC-6 is back up on the farm. Pictures coming after I get them reduced in size.

Thanks
