Hi, the crawler was used to tow a trailer for syruping, and as far as I know, never had any hydraulics or a PTO on it.  It's been shedded for the last 20 or so years and the gas tank was drained, as was the radiator.  The motor does turn over easily with the hand crank too.  So overall, I think that it's a pretty good candidate for rebuilding.  If you'd like to see a pic, send me your email address.  Thanks!  Kerry Brunner

Unless this crawler has a lot of sentemental value you might want to reconsider. I have had both a HG and an OC4 rebuilt and it was extremely costly. I gave $2000 for the OC4 and by the time it was finished I had well over $6000  invested. It wasn't show quality. I gave $1000 for the HG and after spending $1500 to get it running I sold it for $2000. I like crawlers but I have found them to be extremely costly. The Olivers were tough machines but the pto is weak for heavy work such as cutting brush. I now have a 1964 550 Special and an Oliver 75 lawnmower both in show condition. I do have a Mitsubishi dozer that I paid $11000 . I use it on my hobby farm in the hills. It is a 1992 model and does a great job.
Good luck
