1925 Best Model 60 Crawler

The Best 60 was introduced in 1919 and manufactured by the C.L. Best Company.  This tractor was one of the predecessors of the famous Caterpillar 60 and  featured oscillating track sections and a two-speed transmission (later increased to three), which improved traction, ride quality, and operator control. The Best 60's innovations and design influenced the development of Caterpillar's track-type tractors, including modern dozers.   This Best 60 is super special being the latest one known to exist, just a few from the end - serial number 2539. Rebuilt carburetors, magneto.   New fuel tank and rebuilt vacuum tank.  New water pump shaft.  Hard to find belt pulley.
