Sounds more like a B. F. Avery model A which was the former Cletrac General. If nobody has a date I do have a serial number list put a way.

I looked it up last night for you and it is not a Cletrac General serial number, but it maybe worth re-checking the number. Sam

Tyler, according to my serial number guide its a B.F. Avery Model A from 1945.  A cletrac GG would have the leters FA instead of A. The GG and Avery are both besically the same tractor as far as I know, other should be able to fill you in on them. Sam

I came to the same conclusion that it was a 1945 Avery A, I had one guy wanting to argue that it was a General, It does look identical except for no Cletrac tag and the wide fron under it, after another look, appears to be off a Ford Model T or something like that. It never got any bids in the auction and I think I can buy it for $150.  No rear tires and rims, the engine has been scotted back about a foot , front grille was cut so it would slide back on top of the frame. head was taken off but is still there.
PS. The General that was in the auction did sell. Need to check but think it was around $1200. was running.
Thanks for the help guys.
