This is his second time listing it this year. Looks like he put it on ebay with a parts machine. The hydraulics look familar :) Definitely will be more resistant to getting stuck.ĭan, I belive Struck is the brand.
I declined saying I have too much stuff at the moment and did not need another "project" sitting in the garage.Īfter seeing a pic of a real life one, I'd surely love to have one, but unless almost given to me, I'd have to pass as well. I went to Indiana last Thursday to pick up a Simplicity 725 with grader blade and spotted this up by the fellows garage. The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. Just think of the lawn you would tear up each time you spun a track. You could make on your lawn mowing with it. That said, I would love to have one just to play with, and who knows, I could be a little off on it's capabilities.but not by much I don't think.ĭaniel in Ky - So much to do, so little time! I figure if they were that great at working, they'd still be made today. For ultra light work I think it would get by ok. I have a 9,400lb hi-lift IH T340 crawler and it can do a lot, but anything that small I just can't see having enough power & traction. I believe it would be more fun than effective. I really like the rear mounted grader with gauge wheels. Now that would be a really effective and fun tool. ANd probably did!!!ĩ18H Agco-Allis, and a 928D Grasshopper Diesel. I'd bet money a company today would get sued for advertising loading it like that on two boards and no head room. I would love to have a weekend project like that in my garage! I like the sales point of it being considered a weekend project to put together. I had to sit down and read the whole brochure right after purchasing it. Pay attention, or pay the consequences, the choice is yours. One of those machines I've wanted to play with for years, hasn't happened yet.ĭid anyone else notice the one pic of Larry loading one into a Ford fullsize van? Looks like a nice fit. "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty." Didn't know they made so many attachments for the small crawler. Struck Magnatrac Mini Dozer / Crawler 1975 Other Tractors, Attachments and other projects Michael's Tractors (Simplicity and Allis Chalmers Garden Tractors) I wouldn"t take another one if someone gave it to me.Michael's Tractors (Simplicity and Allis Chalmers Garden Tractors) - Struck Magnatrac Mini Dozer / Crawler 1975 Afgter 15 years, three engines, loose tracks and annual belt changes, the novelty wore off. First seen in Popular Mechanics and on the Johnny Carson show. He traded it for an old Farmall 300 even up. Track linkages became loose from wear but I fixed that with a self-designed spring track tensioner that the manufacturer shouldhave figured out to begin with. Drive system will remind you of a miniture machine shop. Not easy to replace belts in below freezing wx. I just resigned myself to replacing them once per year to avoid breakdowns at inconvenient times. Last engine cost more that the entire dozer cost originally. Tecumseh engine self destructed at about 300 hours. Put it together in about 4 hours and used it for about 15 years. I bought a new Srtuck Mini-Dozer with front blade for $495 in 1970.
