@TiagoTiagoT no. you are talking about getting something new to replace some thing that was actually built with quality by a quality tractor manufacturer
@TiagoTiagoT what i am trying to say is that they don't make stuff like they used to. cars now days are too complicated to work on unlike say a 1968 charger or a 1975 ford f800. now you just about need a technician to work on something like a tractor,bulldozer or any farm machinery like this
@TiagoTiagoT As small as this machine is you would save little to no fuel and modern machines can actually be less efficient than their older counterparts due to repair costs and fuel consumption (most new machines motors run at a higher r.p.m. which wears parts faster and to keep the motor spinning that fast uses more fuel) and it would be that the ice is slippery not that the machine is so heavy.
great time on ice. just trying to rough it up so it would resist sliding. i used to use it for hauling logs up in Muskoka, North of Huntsville in ON for firewood. it never leaves a trail of destruction like bigger machines, eh.
Conversion was done before money was invented. Normal speed is what is demonstrated in the video and top speed is approximately running speed of a person.
HELLO. Nice way to have some fun on the ice. What model is your crawler. I have a 1942 cletrac AD with flat steel street pads. It is not at home on ice or snow. I enjoyed your video, where are you located. Phil
Hi, my crawler is an OC3 with an Austin A40 drive train. The modifications were done in late '76 when I was 21yrs. The OC3 is approxmately from the late 1940's and the engine is comprised of three different engines, from 1954-61. And I'm located about an hour North of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

@ChuCk230e well, obliviously you shouldn't buy a crappy one regardless of when it was made

wow, that thing doesn't look like it is going fast enough to slip like that, it must be quite heavy (and/or the ice quite slippery)

That reminds me of Golden Eye where James Bond was drifting a tank.

"Drifting: a sport where drivers intentionally induce oversteer." Yea, u can drift on ice, and yea, that's awesome.

Nice machine but it's called ice not drifting

@motocross19916 it creates the motion of drifting, therefore it is drifting
