what were the two tones of a 35 unstlyed E? havent seen this color scheme, maybe just looking in the wrong places. my E is yellow, but its got soo much paint on it, who knows what it was originally..

Never heard of that?? How's that work? Is that like the pressure tanks that you hook up and watch all your bearings to check for oil flow?

Im Just above Milford nh in greenfield. South central I guess you could say.

Yeah I see that. Either way it's turned all the way in for max pressure already. Did the same prime proccess as you. And just for kick I tried it with a bone dry pump first. You could turn it forever and it won't draw oil dry. I just dribbled some oil down the outlet port and away it went. Just have to make some new gaskets for the pan and try her again.

Looks easy enough while out to increase. How much did you turn the adjuster in?

Ended up pulling the pan to clean out and inspect the oil pump and lower end. Hope to have it back together next week.

Didn't think of it losing prime. Think I might try your idea of backfeeding oil into gauge port.

So I finally had some time to try and get the En to run, after lots of hand cranking she fired and ran. Quick check of the oil pressure gauge brought that to a halt tho. Nothing showing. Changed the gauge- nothing, took gauge out and let line be open-nuttin. Now I'm a bit discouraged. By this. Gave up for now. Any common oil system issues on these? Might check some more into it tomorrow after the Dublin engine meet. Fun.

yeah, its the one on craigs. looks decent, doesnt run, has been around the block and used, but still a neat looking tractor, just didnt know too much about it, and thought it would look good next to the hg in the garage. price seems decent altho i would loose the blade on the front.

ah, very good, thanks for some insight on this rig, it is a very neat tractor and really would love to add this one to the collection but unsure of its value as I cant find any others for sale, this one doesnt run so im unsure if anythings wrong with the drivetrain and engine. are parts available for the trans and engine?

that should be true other than the width i suppose, just not alot of info out here on that model.

hi all, just wondering the basic specs on a cletrac im looking to purchase as I know nothing about the early cletracs. its nothing like my hg31. whats the engine used in these?what is the original weight and colors? seems like a rare model, are parts hard to find for these?
any info would be great!
thanks

I think this should work out ok, just want to have a plan when i go the the machinist to get some things going on this project. cant wait to get it together and hear it run for the first time in years... lots of work till then tho.

yeah, the ixb's are aluminum, and the ixk's are cast, i would think that as long as they are equal, it should balance ok.

I think i remember that someone had said that, but I couldnt find it anywhere,I have ixb pistons that i want to use, but just wanted to make sure there was plenty of metal in the cylinders to have the machine shop bore the ixk out to the bigger size.
