been a while since i posted... the 175 has been doing great...managed to get a steering axle shaft from someone out east and its been great ever since..shes a beast and running flawlessly if anyone has a line on some doors id be greatfull...if not ll start making my own this summer i was wondering if anyone had a way of tracking its history....i cant help but wonder what kind of life it had..maybe crown owned it at one time ..clearly it was setup as a log loader/unloader with its jaws ive got a vid of it runnin down an old loggin road that aint been cleared it probably 20 years..but i cant find it right now
Hi, My dad had a 175a Tractor Logger in the 60's Im trying to come up with enough info to draft it out to make a 1/25 scale model, what year is your? Thanks Ross
funny enuf mines got a cali plate on the back im not sure of the year..thats the sad part...ive got all the data plates etc..but nothing that states a year...and i think the only thing that might have had a number on it would have been the engine...and mine well someone shoehorned in a detroit 6-71 being a fellow scale modler(well i used to but only dable any more) if you want or need any referance shots or measurements ill GLADLY get them for you...someone in the shoehorning of the engine moved the weight grill? out 6inches and raised it 4 or so to clear the radiator and fan only thing im sure of is its 50s or early 60s cause of when they did the major change in the 60s
