There are at least 6 different issues of "Cletrac Facts" on Ebay right now. I would love to have them, but they are way too much for me to buy. Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1PLEASE! If you are the winner, please let me scan them in high resolution to put on the site so everyone can download them for printing. Thanks, Blake ENDS MARCH 16TH |

Has anyone else bought one of the "Ultimate Cletrac Photo Books" off E-bay? I just bought one a while back and i'm currently waiting it's arrival. All I have to say is, it better be worth $36.

I bought a copy of that book a while back and it is ok. I think it's a compilation of mostly factory photos, some of which I have already put on this site.

Yeah, it said that it was in black and white so that would be the one.

I was hoping that I could get enough out of it to figure out what year I have. Oh well, if nothing else it will be neat to look at the pictures.  ~C.C.~ |

Stick with Walter's advice. One of my boys got one for me several years ago. Landis had pointed some of the items out before but a lot of those pictures are experiment tractors and things shown on some of the pictures never made it in production. The OC-9 shown and the OC4 with a 4 cylinder DIX diesel come to mind real quick, but it is good to look at.

This guy keeps posting more "Cletrac Facts" brochures on ebay. They keep going too high though.
I wonder where he is getting them?

So did anyone on here ever bid on these? I see they are back up for bid and the price has dropped. Only two people have made bids so far. And they bid on different books. I looked at them but it looks like its all early Cletrac and nothing concerning my model.
