Can anyone tell me what year they started putting water pumps on the cletrac HG crawlers? I recently bought my first cletrac and would like to restore it. Thanks.
I think February of 1950. I do have a service bulletin that informs the dealers of the change and the parts necessary to make the change. Now I have a good friend and his fater was a dealer and sold quite a few of them. When an older one with the IXK engine would come in for an overhaul they would bore it out to a 3.250 bore size and then they found you had to have the pump. If your crawler has the IXK engine it did not have a water pump when new. Wait till we get done with fall farm work and I can look it up for you.
Thanks for the information. Good luck and much success in your fall farming!
