Started to work on this project and have had it on my trailer seems like forever. Today we unloaded the Crawler with the 4020 and 1066 as it did not roll. Removed all the brackets that used to support a blade. Only one of the bottom roller moved. We got all the other rollers free up, there is a tube that supplies oil to them. We used diesel and some oil and work each one got all of them to turn. Then we cleaned up the bottom tracks the best I could with air and put some of the diesel/oil on the pin area's. Tap on the tracks with hammer to help get some movement. Then hook up the 4020 and the 2010 loader tractor on the front and back side. We took are time and moved each way. More hitting with the Sledge. Finally it moved all the around. Also pick up this 1925 tractor to use as the motor is junk and gas tank and other parts are bad on the crawler. http://s128.photobucket.com/user/richhc/media/Fordson/FordsonT15.JPG_zps2pmtunjx.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s128.photobucket.com/user/richhc/media/Fordson/FordsonT17.JPG_zpsdwvfys8y.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s128.photobucket.com/user/richhc/media/Fordson/FordsonT19.JPG_zpskgclsq4h.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s128.photobucket.com/user/richhc/media/Fordson/FordsonT21.JPG_zpsstpfbe3s.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s128.photobucket.com/user/richhc/media/Fordson/FordsonT12.JPG_zpsrbwdqfc7.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s128.photobucket.com/user/richhc/media/Fordson/FordsonT13.JPG_zpsw6hpdo8k.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s128.photobucket.com/user/richhc/media/Fordson/fordsonT14.JPG_zpseqzpczvo.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s128.photobucket.com/user/richhc/media/Fordson/Fordson2.JPG_zpsenv7bgry.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">

Wow, that will be quite a project but worth it when finished. Don't see a crawler on every street corner!
