Super Crawler, master and slave, coming soon!
Sorry, I responded to you saying “new gasket coming tomorrow”. I know how old these machines are - I‘ve often considered buying one, here in the UK. Been very tempted, particularly at auctions, on several occasions - but resisted. My only crawler is a Cletrac HG.This is made by me. Drawn, cut, punched. This tractor is 73 years old.
Have you seen the Doe tractors in this thread:
GMG, Unimog, County and other lesser-known all-wheel drive off-road tools
I’ve never seen an FC County. Seen plenty on the beach when I was a kid with the crab boats but don’t remember any FC ones. Is that a special order?www.mig-welding.co.uk
I think Caterpillar did a double D9 in various combinations - side by side, front-to-back and offset in both directions.
I've seen a couple of tandems at shows

This one based on a Chamberlain which come from your side of the world in Oz

Orange and very wide tracks,
Ha ha, thst is only half a job. Was that a lawn mower dragging it? Likely needs some weight on the frames to get the job done.

Before you button it up, just verify that the direction of the spring link on the chain is correct.
Interesting that they used a half link instead of designing the tensioner to work with a full link.
