Hello all,
I was glad to see a email yesterday saying the forum was back up and running.
I found my Cletrac AG has a braze repair on one of  the guvnor weights, which I'm not to thrilled about. It was running on it and probably has done for many years.
If possible I would prefer to replace the guvnor weights.
Over here in the UK Cletrac spare parts are thin on the ground.
Can anyone suggest where I might find the replacement guvnor weight part ?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Carl Hargreaves

Hello All,

A few months back I got myself a nice looking Cletrac AG built in 1940,  The old guy I got it from told me that it had some clutch issues but seen as it ran so nice I decided to take a shot at it and got the thing bought. Anyway I have just got round to giving the old girl some attention. When I was looking up the clutch for this make and model I could only find descriptions of the procedure so as I have been sorting mine out I thought I would take a few photos so if anyone else in future tackles one they could see what they are up against ...
My flywheel was covered in sticky oil from the spigot bearing lubricating wick in the end of the crank, the oil should drain away through some holes in the flywheel but these were bunged with dust from the clutch linings and oil and grease from the spigot bearing !
While the clutch is out I am having it re-lined and new thrust and spigot bearings.
I removed the clutch through the hatch under the fuel tank, The reason I removed the engine was because I thought the rear main oil seal was leaking but it was not, the cause of the troulble was the bunged up holes in the flywheel unable to disperse any excess oil.

here is a link to my album with the pictures of the clutch etc towards the end.

Hope this may help someone in the future
