CASE 130 CRAWLER

[WALDO390]

Has anyone ever seen a CASE 130 crawler? A friend of mine just bought one.

Whatever your friend purchased, was something that was made by a private individual and not by any division of J. I. Case.

That's kind of what i figured. Thing does look mean though.

Would it possibly be a Case 310 Crawler? The first Case Crawler made.

The id tag on the dash panel says 130 on it, but for all i know someone just put 130 sheet metal on it.

There's a substantial difference in size between a home-made crawler that is based on a garden tractor and a Case 310 dozer.

Secondly, one has a water-cooled 4 cylinder engine in it and the other one likely has a single cylinder air cooled Kohler K engine. In other words, a simple telephone call would sort that out in a matter of seconds. Should it prove to be a converted 130, then please encourage your friend to join our group. I'm positive that he will benefit from that experience but then again, I'm pretty biased. LOL
