DT86 is it a lindeman conversion? It is reminiscent of the undercarriage they delivered

Basically ford tin and engine on an HG cletrac frame and wide tracks. Ford had something going with cletrac in the 50's to build some track model but the deal feel thru so only some prototype are left. A guy at one of my clubs has one built on an 8n/cletrac.

I guess the n series were adapted to quite a few different machines. I've seen pics of a 9n turned into a pavement roller. Wonder what all they were converted to back in the day??

i like those N ones too.

probably the only way i'd ever buy another N.. is with tracks or halftracks..

I'm not really sure what it is. Some of the welds would indicate it was not a production adaptation.
