    This is a Hubley #505 front loader from the 1950's. It is a generic model but has the look of any real crawler loader. Box is made to open as a display box as shown in the third photo.
    Measures 10 inches long.

      Tom ,where can I get a pair of tracks for one of these?
    5. AzTom AzTom, 11 years ago
      Glad to you back, been a little worried.

      I don't know anyone selling them made for this crawler. I will compare the size to the Arcade and a few other that I know are available. I will need a set someday, I have a junk one of these to make an Oliver out of.

      Well, The Ertl IH, Arcade Cat and Tonka dozer tracks are all too large. You can buy Marx tracks that have a metal clip to crimp them together at the correct length. You will want the wide ones without he lugs on the inside. They aren't cheap.

      Now, if you know a mechanic, ask him to save you old drive belts that the ATV and motorcycles are using. I flipped one inside out and spliced it on a lug for a larger super glue joint. Then line the inside of the joint with cloth or fine mesh super glued to it.
      I have been successful in finding vacuum cleaner drive belts to fit smaller dozers.
