Bernard Christiano wrote on Sunday, April 26, 2009 (PDT):I have always been curious about the Yuba crawler. Growing up, my neighbor had one, or I should say, the carcass of one, parked out behind his barn. He always had plans to get it running, but needed the ball bearings for the tracks, and being very frugal, wasn t about to purchase them new so he asked anyone he thought might have access to any to keep an eye out for them. He did also tell me that the engine, which he said was a Waukesha, was way over powered for the design of the tractor and he felt contributed to the loss of the rollers. He had planned to put a small 6 cylinder engine in it instead. Anyway, someone talked him out of it by trading him a small crawler in working order and that s all he wanted anyway; something he could put to work. I would like to see a Yuba up close and take some pictures to give to him.

Lon Welch wrote on Sunday, December 14, 2008 (PST):My great grandfather and his brother both had Yuba tractors early 1900s ; their farms were located in southeastern Washington State. An elderly neighbor told of watching my grandfather’s tractor work pulling a combine. When they came to a hill the tractor couldn’t pull, the front of the tractor would rare up. They then stopped and hooked a team up to help the tractor over the hill. If the tractor went over a wash some of the track roller balls would fall out. They would pick them up so they could be put back in place when servicing the tractor at the end of the day. They build shades over the tractor that ran the full length of it. This is hot country in the summers, I can’t imagine how much work or how uncomfortable it was for the operator of the tractor. I have a picture of one of the tractors hooked to a combine but it is poor quality and hard to see a lot of detail. Thanks to this site for providing a much sought after photo of the Yuba tractor.
