must have had a bad batch of grousers in 70-74' for the grousers to wear down that far in a 100 hours of operation.

that hour meter might have a 100 hours on it, but those side hill tabs are showing a solid 104 hours.......

I talked to Jim about the Union Pacific Spryte. It is listed as 100 hours, but it appears to be not as clean as advertised.

The cat is currently at a cabin in Wyoming, but he did get me some good pictures. Unfortunately the details show this isn't the premium just-rolled off the factory floor they advertise.

While I'm a newbie, it looks like this will take a fair bit of work to get it back to good shape--there appear to be some cracks in the tracks although I don't know how bad the damage is. There appears to be a rollover cage inside the cab.

I have about 20 pictures of details, PM if interested.

No idea' that they are asking $$ for it.... nonetheless, if you buy it thinking its a 1972 (no idea its age) then you might get, what you expect. 100 hours or not.

Ill say it again

hour meters are about the most ridiculous measure of machine condition there is.

Those grousers are worn down more that 100 hours work.

Well before anyone lights me up,

Unless the grousers operated 100 hours against a file,,,,,,
