"The 40 crawlers are pretty fun, aren't they? I have one that I am restoring and I have got to the turn around now. After I have spent $3,300 on the undercarrage, final drives, and tracks. I had the tracks rebuilt for a cost of $1,300. The engine was just over-hauled when I got it and now I know why he stopped there. I even took a Cat guy with me to look at it since this is my first crawler, and I have found out that Caterpillar's are a lot different from John Deere's. But I have learned a lot, boy have I learned alot. It will go along with my John Deere series real nice. I have 24 two cylinder John Deere tractors and most are the first numbered series. I have every size and now am workin on the different fuels and configurations. Here are a couple pictures of my crawler."
