Hi Josh, Did you pick up the BD with the perkins in it in the Bundy area. I have some BD parts here but mostly DDH parts.

Hey Keith, the crawler with the perkins?? is a mix of a machine im not exactly sure what it is i has no plates i got the machine off my uncle when he passed away he told me about it i used to be a single cylinder but he converted it to a diesel 4 cyl it has a blade on it which is off a cat and all the hydrolics are homemade... even the rams are homemade... smart man will have to take some photos of it.. its been stuck on a hill for 3 years i ran it off its track and havnt been able to fix it to the modifactions hes made to it... And for where he got it from im not to sure i think its from the bundy district but im not positive. the 2 BD's are im told

Hi Josh, interessting i would like to see a photo. I brought several semi loads of DDH's from down your way when my uncle died. I was contracting with them up until alittle while ago. I only have two left now one with bull tilt blade with three tine swivel rippers. The other one is a bare machine only ever used to pull a set of offsets.I also have two AG's one 35 and one36.Also have loyd crawler.I have BD trans parts if you need any.

Hi Keith on further inspection the 3 crawler is a Fowler Mark VF found a plate tucked away simliar to //http://restored-classics.com/tractors/page5.html

Thanks for offering gearbox parts they may come in handy the 2 machines both have there gear box's one is disassembled the other has been filled with water and it seized pretty good im curious do you have a clutch? if you want to sell the machine as a whole im willing to do a deal thanks.

Keith OZ · April 05, 2010, 08:33:06 PM

Hi Josh, i might have a clutch. When i get a chance i will have a look. I wrecked the machine a fare while ago and im pretty sure i only have trans parts left. I will have to shift some DRXB motors and DDH parts to get the drum with the trans parts in.

Hi Josh , Are you going to the rally /tractor show at tehege next weekend ? We are hopefully going down . If you look in the other brands of machines threads ,you can see our other machines . We have a fowler VF as well . Probably fitting a perkins to it would not have been a problem ,As the trackmarshall 50/55 dozers were the next models to be built and they were fitted with a 4.270 perkins motor . I will PM you My email address and phone numbers ,if your going to the rally we might be able to catch up . Ian .
