  • I have a 1932 AC model K crawler, with hydraulic Baker Blade attached. It did run before but has been sitting for 20 years inside my barn. I used it to level the spot where my trailer sits now and then parked it in barn. I need to sell it because I am moving all equipment out of barn to put in a concrete floor. It has gear controls and no steering wheel. I loved it and Im a girl. Offer me a price... Hate to part with it cause dad gave it to me. Call me at 816-258-2452

  • If yours is only moderately worn (Like mine was), I think you can reverse it and prolong its life, because most of the wear is on the 'engage' side. I do have an engine core laying out behind the shop which may have a usable throw-out bearing if you are in a real bind and can't find a better one or reverse and use yours.

    Tom Armstrong wrote on Thursday, December 09, 1999 (PST):
  • In this area, the AC Model M pretty much replaced the horse for farming the hills here for grain and flax. One family up the Canyon had a Model K. I remember they still used it back in the "50's and '60's. They ran it in the same field as a 7U D-4. They worked one behind the either all day long, both pulling 4 bottom plows. I ran an M in the same field as a 5U D-2, the M would keep right up with the D-2, both pulling 6'9" discs. The M would outrun the D-2 if you tied the throttle down. This was amazing performance for tractors engineered in the early thirties.
