Come join us and make this the largest Cletrac show ever.
Whether it's a Cleveland Motor Plow, Cleveland Tractor or a Oliver/Cletrac running or not, dust em off and display them at this once in a lifetime event.
We have lots of commitments already so reserve your space with the California Oliver Cletrac Club soon.
See poster image for details.

Email me. I've got a complete orchard K

As soon as I can get the tinsmith to get energized I'll have some.
It's frustrating. This guy can do anything and keeps promising me he'll get it done "in a couple of weeks" and it doesn't happen. He's made some great stuff for me and is local. I can only push so hard and don't want to be that nag that he hates to see walk through the door.
Seems like so many of the skilled arteest types are like that.
Keepin my fingers crossed....

I saw someone had made a puller using a bottle jack to remove rear sprockets.
Not sure if the thread was here or online somewhere but does anyone out there have pictures available so I can fabricate one?

Erik,
The carb your'e looking for--What model Cletrac is it for?

Here's a pic of the tapered pin end. I hope it stays attached (the pic)

These are the early 6.375" wide tracks. The inboard ends of the pins on both right and left tracks are tapered for ease of installation. Does anybody out there know if this style track uses pins that are tapered over the full length and are meant to be driven from one side only?
Thanks

I successfully reproduced the Cyclone air strainer for the mod H. They turned out perfect.
I'm now going to give the much simpler W and K  L shaped "air horn" pre cleaner a go and I'm looking for good pics and dimensions.
I have an sample piece but it's pretty beat. It looks like it slips over a 2.5" diam. pipe. Anyone have some really good  examples out there.
Also, may attempt the early AG pre cleaners. I also need pics of that. My example is thrashed.

Newbie,
Where are you? I'm in Grants Pass. Not many Cletrac folk in my area.
I've got to go to the Brooks meet to see any.

Looking for a brass fuel valve. It selected the fuel source, kerosene or gas, and had a shut off position also.
Thanks,
Roland

Erik,
Send me a PM with your phone #
Roland--Grants Pass, OR

NAPA is where I get mine. Not hard at all.

Good luck

Because of my own needs I've decided to make parts for my 1918/1919 model H
Lower track wheel mud guards/shields parts #s 506 and 507 for the later H. These should run around $250-$300 per 4 piece set plus shipping. They will be exactly as original except for the 6 mounting screw holes. Each will have the hole placement marked but not drilled as your track frame may have holes in slightly different positions.

Cyclone air cleaner/strainer--The incedibly rare original part # 811 that was probably thrown away and replaced with a more efficient type.
These will be pricey. Again exactly as original. If I'm not happy with them you won't either.

Throttle shafts for the Kingston L2 carburetor. New shaft modified to accept the existing butterfly with screws, not the staple. Kit will also include 2 bronze shaft bushings and the loan of the reamer to drill your brass carb. body. Not sure on $ yet.

Maybe--upper track rollers with bracket--MAYBE

I'm going to make 1 RUN ONLY of these parts 6 sets mudguards, 6 air cleaners, 6 shaft & bushing sets.

Let me know ASAP if you're intereseted.
Roland

Thanks guys. I'm still looking and will let you know if I find something.

I'm looking for a high temperature green paint to use on my exhaust manifold. I don't want to porcelainize.
It needs to be a gloss paint that will closely match the Hart Parr green-( Martin Senour 53-8753 ) which is darker than John Deere green.
I've looked everywhere.    Any body out there know of paint that will work ??

Thanks..
