I am a machine shop instructor in northern Pa. My class is restoring a HG. The kids want to paint it in its orignal paint scheme, however we are not sure of the year. The ID tag is on the right rear frame rail. The serial number is 1HG798. Thank you for any information.
Ah yes the joys of vocational programs. Did that for 10 years and sub now for a couple of programs. Now on the serious side. Cletrac HG numbers use the letter GA in the serial number tag. On the left side of the block at the top the engine model and serial number are stamped. A 1GA with that number would be a 1939 model. Do some checking, I have most of an orignal HG parts book (photo copy I could send you too which might help some. Anyhow if is that early it will be Cletrac Orange.
