I have 6E1977 with a ernst willimette winch whitch was sold to the Burnie Pulp Mill in1935.
For towing you just need to check the oil in the final drives and transmission, and add a shot of grease in the Undercarriage. As the tractor moves the rotating gears in he final drives and transmission will lift the oil and distribute it. Here in Michigan we would also loosen the oil drain plugs to check for water.
The 3 cylinder diesel Sounds great.
I take it that is the tractor on Frazer Island ?.
I would Contact Chapter 18 Of the Acmoc club based here in Queensland .
I am sure there will be someone willing to help .

Yes . That would be a interesting project for ch 18 to get involved with.
How far will it have to be moved?
Just to another position at the same site or on a truck to another site.
It would be good to do some preservation work to prevent further deterioration or it will turn into a pile of rust in the future.

Brilliant! Thanks oilcan47, thats the first information i've received about there being another one in Australia. Do you know of anymore? The fewer there are in Australia the higher their heritage value.
Also can i ask about the condition of yours? Is it in better condition than this one?
Perhaps the 35 can be displayed with the Thiees collection when it fids a home.
