Bunch of years back we (neighbor and I) owned an OC3.
LOL we paid all of $400. for it so at $200 each it was our big boy's toy.
It had a dozer blade that power angled to the right. (still have the cylinder)
Some things I learned that I pass on FYI.
The under carriage is common with smaller rock drilling machines. (track, rollers sprockets etc)
Engine I seem to recall is continental 4 cyl common in early jeeps and other industrial machines.
Mine unfortunately was rolled by a guy I had loaned to and he cracked open the differential housing which never could be repaired properly so I had to scrap it.
I only discovered that damage after I had purchased replacement undercarriage parts (drilling machine), shucks I even had a brand new motor from Gov't surplus for it.
Gas tank location was my main issue* as my terrain is very hilly and only a full tank allowed me to climb plus at any cross slope work always resulted in throwing a track as the undercarriage had been so abused.
LOL, got so efficient that using a bar I could 're track' without a helper, lots of practice!
But it was fun to own and I did landscape much of my property.
I later on bought a HD6 Allis that served me well.
*I should have simply added a second fuel outlet at the other end of the tank.
