Mr. silverstate55
I sure do like that crawler! It is very good that you saved it from being ground up and sent to somewhere to be recycled.
It really looks good and I can't wait to see more pictures.

Thank You for your service to our Country.
Semper Fi, Sir

A guy in town owns these beauties they are put to good use in his business. Enjoy.

Well, here's that 645M after I brought it back to life. Didn't take much. A little servicing, a scrub down and fresh paint. Updated a few things and it's good to go. Jump to the 8:30 mark for the wrap up and walk around.

Has an Allis 3500. Yes, and the hour meter does show correct time. If you look at the GL video earlier in this thread, it didn't look pretty but I had a feeling about it. I try my best to find the older stuff without electronics.

I hear you about the SIMPLE DIESEL's , air , fuel , compression and she's a runner ! IMHO , they ruined the diesel engine with all the electronic garbage and filters . When they break now , better get the hook ! LOL

Recently acquired a Clark 290m Tractor - looking for the TMs in either PDF or print if anyone has them.

Pics to follow.

Surfdog, I have the following manuals for the Clark 290M
Lub Order 5-2420-206-12 dated 15 Dec 1983
Change 2 for 5-2420-206-12 dated 2 June 1972 for the Operator & Org. manual (1 Page)
Change 3 for 5-2420-206-12 dated 8 July 1974 for Operator & Org. manual (1-2 page)
TM 5-2420-206-20P dated Sept 1974 (Parts manual only)
The changes really don't do you any good without the basic manual -12, which is the one you really need.

I also have manuals for the Scraper Towed 18Yd Euclid Model 58SH-G
5-3805-231-15 dated June 1965 Org, DS, GS, & Depot manual
5-3805-231-24P dated July 1984 (Parts only)

If interested send me a PM!
