   I've been off line awhile.  Thought I would let ya all know how my Cletrac is working.. This tractor has a lot of power. but I am concerned that it is a little lite in weight for heavy work.. Stood it on end once. Scared the liveing daylights out of me.  It starts in an instant, and runs like a top... By the way, does anyone know where I can get a manual for my HG, 1948 ? 

 The Grease Fittings have a round head with a ball in the center.  I decided to change them for modern nipples. When I took the original Fitting to the Hardware Store they didn't have what I needed. They determined, and ordered METRIC Nipples.      Why does a tractor, made in this country that is as old as my Cletrac, Have Metric threads on the Fittings ?

Before I worked the tractor, I wanted to change the Oil.  The Filter that screws on is a Napa 1103.  I went to Napa, and they could only get an 1105.  It turns out to be the right Filter, but of a different make up.. Not knowing what Oil to use, I wanted straight No. 30. Wal*Mart and surrounding stores only have 10 W 30.  I did find it in General Dollar. but at 2.85 a Quart. 6 Quarts filled the tractor.  My son is haulling trees with it now.

 has anyone got a junk 310 with usable track rollers for sale ? 

 Looking for an HG radiator..... Could a Ford 9N Radiator be used instead ? 

 My Cletrac get steaming hot after a few minutes use.. The Radiator has a leak near the botton, and I have the feeling that the cores are plugged. I would like to replace it with a Car or truck Radiator.. Any advice on this ?

  I just bought a rebuilt Wico Magneto from seller, Chrisvandervyver , on Ebay...  He states that he is parting out a couple Cletracs, and also has running engines.. location Watertown, NY

 The Motor Number on my Cletrac is 1298581....I see that the Motor Number on the changes is 1285103. for 1947,    Could my tractor possibly be a 1947 ?

  I have spark at the points, but none at the Spark Plugs. The suspected problem is the worn rotor. Any suggestions ?   Also, can you tell me what the direction of rotation the rotor turns ? Thanks Jer

 Found the problem.. Pulled the Magneto, and discovered the Coil burned out.. Apparently. the previous owner tried to start it using a 12 Volt battery.. My Cletrac has an 8 volt Battery, is this the right Battery for this crawler ?     ---- The " blob " in front of the grill is the Auction Tag..
