[AJD] JD Lindeman crawler

[Brad Loomis]

Ok I'll bite. I have a passing interest in this. If the block is cracked,
which I assume would be the worst case scenario, then how hard is a
replacement to find or to repair? I would think I'm about one of the closest
to Dee and Goleta, and a Lindeman would be really nice. Also what is the
approximate weight of one of these critters?

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.
