Re: Clueless 420 Crawler Owner
Hi,
57 would make it a 420. There are quite a few differences between a 420 and an MC. Such as a 420 has a water pump and an MC does not. An MC would be a 3-roller undercarriage only as well. Most 420s have a 5-roller with the 4-roller being an option.
You would have to get it going if you wanted more than scrap metal value for it. And, that might wind up being a lot of work.
Where in Western NC? I am in the Raleigh area, so Western NC might mean a reasonable drive or maybe not.

Re: Clueless 420 Crawler Owner
5 roller has to be at least a 40, and as mentioned, if it has a water pump, then 420, years we can pin down later.

Hi,
Fallston, NC is a 3 1/2 hour drive for me. There might be someone closer.
