[AT] FW: Oliver crawler Loaders

[toma at risingnet.net]

I had literature years ago that said Ware Corp made loader attachments for the OC 3-4 and possibly the HG. Oliver Cletrac may have bought Ware in later years.

>I'm not sure where to start with this.  We publish an Oliver crawler story in every single magazine.  Crawler production started Cleveland, Ohio, (Cleveland Tractor Company aka Cletrac).  When the plant closed, production moved to Charles City.  Some loaders were built by Oliver, some were built by others.  Just depends on what you ordered.  Crawlers were produced until 1965.  I have no idea who Tyler is.
