Hello Mike, Im about an hour North of Columbus, hour or so South of Cleveland. Probably a good three hours away from you in Dayton! Hope to head down that way this summer to the Deere Expo in Springfield. Dave Dave, You're not too far from me !! - We actually have a farm just outside Springfield.. ...

Thought Id take a shot of these two brothers while I had them out. Both are 1958 model year and do their fare share of chores around the farm. The Crawler is the newest addition to the fleet but I already have a list of things planned for it. I can see one of the idlers has some play to it so I kno...

Lavoy,

How rare is this crawler? - I have a farm, so having the blade and bucket would be a plus.. How often do these come around? Any issues with the setup that you know of?...

Everyone - Please give me your thoughts..

Thanks.. Mike

Thanks - It's all starting to make sense.. Mike

Hey Guys,

I've been trying to cram 50 years of information into my head about these machines before I buy one.. I have to ask.. What is the reverser and what is it used for?... Did every machine come with one or ? Are they good to have and what are the advantages...

Hi,

I'm close to Mansfield... (Springfield, Ohio) I will actually be in Mainsfield this weekend - Aug 30th.. I'd be interested in the old girl once you get a price.

Thanks... Mike

Hey Guys, I'm new to the crawler scene.. I was thinking about buying one to do work around my farm - I was thinking about a 340 or 440.. Which model if not these do you feel is the most reliable? I'm sure certain models had more issues than other models.. Do I go with gas or diesel? Thanks.. Mike
