[quote=&quot;Donald Lehman&quot;:qw43b0ir]Well ,after a lot of tooth knashing the OC-4 project is nearing completion. Motor rebuild is done. The crawler itself was more beat up than I originally thought. (So what else is new?) Seems like that's true for about any machinery project I get into. At any rate a few letters and phone calls to Zimmerman's took care of all the parts needs. Picked up the parts at Zimmerman's a bit ago. Had a nice talk with Landiss himself about all things Oliver and days gone by. Think we have everything rounded up now. It's just a matter of throwing all the parts in a big box, shake it up hard and see what falls out. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> Hopefully we will have it up and running by sugaring time, which is fast sneaking up on us here already. About the most expensive repair on the motor was getting the oil pump up to snuff. The engine guy said that for the age on the motor it was still in pretty good shape. Of course we rebuilt every inch of the motor from stem to stern. The crankshaft only needed to be ground .010. When I get done with this thing it will be basically a new unit except for the paint job.[/quote:qw43b0ir]

That sounds like very good news <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
