That would be a #128/129 CCU s/n 18F1-up.
Just noticed that the left hand track is on backwards
Those are some odd shoes on the right side also.
O.m. thank you for the literature, do you have any on rebuilding it?
Yes I noticed too the tracks are on backwards but that's just how we got the machine lol by the looks it had a rough life
As for the tracks on the other side, I have never seen those style of shoes for those rails before. That is a whole new one for me. But the engine, starts right up really easy. One of it's best features!
My guess is the strange shoes are 'manganese rock shoes', I have seen a set on a 14A that worked on rock.
I have the service manual for the 18Fxxxx s/n. It's 18 pages.
Check the s/n tag to see if it's that model or the 87G/88G version.
By chance, is this tractor ex-military? That is a strange paint job plus the strange track shoes. Are there any plates on it identifying it as US Army or ? I have never seen this cable unit before.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
