[AT] Auction

[Spencer Yost]

Just one Tyler, a crawler with a loader. OC-6 I guess?   Original paint was yellow and not green so I guess an industrial version? The loader seemed to match the crawler perfectly - not sure if Oliver sold loaders  with their crawlers but judging by the near perfection of design and fit I would say it was Oliver made and came with the crawler.

This was one of the ones with its work clothes on but was in good condition.  The undercarriage seemed tight and overall hours did not appear high.    It went in the $3000s I believe.

BTW:  Every single tractor at the sale started and ran well. There was not a non-runner or stuck tractor in the bunch.
