Does it need anything? Undercarriage?
Where are you in Missouri ?
50 minutes NW of Springfield. Parts to arrive Thursday. New seat, decals, exhaust stack. Have a canopy and limb risers to go with machine. Not the best, but stout. I removed them as they did not do much for the looks of the tractor. Just bolt on if you need them. Have a new battery box that was made for an Allis WD45 I was going to bolt to the fender for the battery. You had ask what it needs. The starter switch is unhooked so I would guess it might have a problem. I used a remote starter switch to start that just clips to the start wire. Turning clutches worked fine when I drove it down to the truck and loaded. When backing up seem like one brake I had to push pretty hard to turn, but did not notice it in forward turning. The dozer was my neighbors for 30 years. Long time ago I hired him to do some work here with it. It was always a good runner. Friend bought it a couple years ago. I hauled it over to his farm for him. He went over it and checked all the grease and used the gun on every fitting in the book. Used it two part days on some big thorn trees and was kind if disappointed that it would not push some of the bigger trees out. Just slip the tracks. Needed a pusher on it. After those two days it was never started again until I bought it a month ago. Fired right up. I could see a pretty slick machine under the ragged old seat and crooked limb sweeps. I really don't need it as I have two other more modern machines. Just wanted see it looking good. If I don't sell it will keep it and use it for a pond and dirt machine. LB

It is an 8U64 something number so I think that is 1953. Come have a look. I'm about 50 to 60 miles South of Osage.
Could I have your cell number? Dave
Sent you a PM with a couple numbers.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"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."
