[AJD] JD Lindeman crawler

[Dee Schuyler]

Karl
Yes that sounds like what he explained to me, however that was many years 
back, and one of the cyl is still full of water so I would think ( and I 
have never seen the tractor
or the individual) That a min of cracked head , and sleeving is in order? 
Depending on how badly stuck it is?

However seeing it is a Lindeman and just the castings are worth a bundle if 
the rest of the tractor is salvagable , and again according to the owner he 
was using it to disc a field when all this took place?? So possibly it could 
only involve a engine overhaul and you may be back in business?? If I was 
even remotely interested I would make a trip to see it , but as you know I 
am downsizing not expanding.
