cat 30

Jon:

Nice 30. Those are some wild looking fenders. I once saw a 60 that had full fenders that looked like oversized Bishop fenders.

Must be a fairly early San Leandro tractor with the narrow seat and early exhaust manifold. Does it have the solid stabalizer bar or a spring?

Hope to see you at Tulare.

Machine is late Peoria should have split head engine. Jon

Jon,
At a glance you can tell if it's a split head by having two valve covers. I had this one a few years ago. Karl

I have not had much time to work on it. There was very little water in any of the gear boxes or engine. The engine is not stuck, and is very clean inside, has a deep sump oil pan, a cobbled up waterpump shaft with a homemade mag bracket. Mouse nest in radiator. I am anxious to get it running but disapointed that my belt pulley won't fit this late of a machine.

Was not much of a baling crew, they couldn't get the wire tied before the bale exited the baler.
