nice machine!

[nostberg]

I Neil Ostberg rebuilt engine,transmission,magnito, ,final drive ,track bushings etc,summer of 1995. Some day I have to make fenders for safety. Too lazy to paint it.

[firglenchainsaws]

Lovely machine.There's one of these on ebay right now!

[hg42choppa]

this machine is solid... tracks still have ample romm for adjustment = not worn out. engine bottom end is tight.. ya can tell from when he pulls the brake to turn, the engine doesnt drop RPM's but instead picks up and powers thru.

nice machine still in good shape mechanically.

[der00ankan]

haha, i really love when stuff like this still works !:)

[Joe198969]

Thats just cool

[MrMrtiki]

Dad & I had a JD 40 but a Grandad of mine ran an Oliver dealership !

[OzzInter]

Great little crawler!

Saw a similar one painted yellow and fitted with safety fenders.

It had been used for orchard work.

Now a very collectable little crawler!

[TheDekwin]

Grandfather, crush your car or shed))

[fuccillo111]

mouse at 5:38

[nostberg]

I have started some of my tractors after sitting over a year. The Continental engine on my saw mill sometimes is not started for over two years. I always put Stabil in the gasoline and stir the gas occasionally. Chain saws also sit from season to season. 4 months is not fake !!. Maintain your machines and they will be ready. Neil Ostberg,, Slinger,Wisconsin.

[akdsur]

after 4 month sitting and still works? impossible its fake

[godzillaisnuclea123]

@akdsur err no these old machines are like that.it's simple and reliable.

[asssface2000]

i saw a mouse run in front of the dozer at 5:39

[harryfaber]

You need to (look up &) watch Fred Dibnah, sadly no longer around, but a great man for using steam & flat belts.

[arawis1]

I spent a lot of time driving a wide base version of this as a kid. A lot of tobacco planting both driving and riding behind.. It was fun, but my dad said theirs had a tendency to throw a track now and again.

[Broens99]

Just GREAT!!!

You call me if this is for sale, OK?

[josh23902]

wtf is that a tank

[yotamanTim]

[josh23902]

[snowmangsx1100]

[powerimprint]

That is amazing. I think I should go back out and work on my truck. I could spend my whole day watching this stuff.

[mojodevirus]

Beautiful beautiful machine. I WANT ONE.

[EarlRausch]

Hey Thanks for the video, I have seen the belt in use but never seen how to align and start it running, Good job

[jn20000]

[GWR4079]

Neil Ostberg

[busybill2]

[erjohnson227]

I hate holding a camera sideways, just to realize how video cameras aren't as easy to flip over as a picture...

[rickey5353]

Awesome crawler, man!!!

[4x4loonatic]

[samuele007]

you have to cross the strip to keep it!

[placesigopeopleimeet]

how fast could somthin like that go

[Titliest07]

no faster than about 6 mph id say

[poscoepete]

Man I would have to get a loader for it. You could probably fab one up, and then use one of those PTO driven hydraulic pumps. Thats a neat old tractor!

[Bamchucknorris]

nice sound

[Poopmaster100]

Ha....this is great.....I love stuff like this!

[KingWarren2018]

незаменимая вещ для хозяйства и огорода.

[nostberg]

I hope to make fenders this year.I have been logging etc.without fenders for more than 25 years. STUPID OF ME !!!. At 72 years of age I should know better. Neil Ostberg.

[farmer730g]

i'd hate to get my pant legs caught in that track..... haha

[farmerphil]

HELLO. I enjoy seeing you run your crawler and doing belt work. I watch this video offen. I have a 1942 cletrac AD, and am looking for the belt pulley atatchment. I have pretty much the same cordwood saw you do and run it with my farmall M. keep on tracking. Phil

[Sulazoh]

Hmm... No twist in the belt huh? Most belt drivin impliments iv'e ever used have run backwards if you hooked it strait up like that.... we usually put a twist in to make it run in the right direction. I guess the saw was made for strait-belt operation...

[fairlanephil]

When using my cordwoodsaw off of my Farmall M, I run it strait. My corn sheller is the same way. The only machine I need to twist the belt on so far,is my thrasher. My cletrac A runs the same way, I can run a strait belt. Phil

[genesgrabbers]

Sounds like a caddy

[unknown13244]

lol...i saw the rat too...and that isnt a tractor by the way, its a cralwer

[fairlanephil]

Some call them a CRAWLER TRACTOR. Or a TRACK LAYER, Like a loader could be a TRACK LOADER or RUBBER TIRE LOADER. But CRAWLER is the more used term. Phil.

[PantsPooperEd]

Nice rat, running in front of the tractor at 5:38

[nostberg]

I just checked the casting date on the engine and it is 1948. The finak drives were positioned so that the fluid levelcheck was incorrect. I suspect the final drives came from an agricultural Cletrac HG. The final drives on an agricultral Cletrac has the engine forward to counterbalance the plow when digging in. This Cletrac came from a company called Struck Kit that copied theCletrac design for its mini crawler. This company was located near Cedarburg,Wisconsin about 1984.

[nostberg]

The year of the crawler is circa 1951 or 52. Serial No. HG6858GA456. I am giving the date of this crawler using the final drive casting date,4-20-1951. Castings years back were aged before machining, about a year,hence the possibility of assembly in 1952. I am the owner,Neil Ostberg,Slinger,Wisconsin.

[JandDstudios]

What year is the oliver crawler?

[carlbesola]

Looks like someone is a clutch rider
