John Deere MC Crawler

I found this John Deere MC crawler on an online auction in Ohio. I made two bids and won the auction. Drove out on a Friday night and back on Saturday. 1000 miles roundtrip. 

We adjusted the control sticks, rebuilt the right axle and bearing, tuned it up and repainted it. We updated gauges and electric coil and wiring. It’s a working tractor with a two bottom plow, eight foot disk, one shank subsoiler and a recently added 20 foot harrowgator. We have a two way valve to lock the blade in it’s raised position and have two remotes in in rear to handle hydraulics. This was a fun rebuild with all the parts from Steiner.
