OC-3's in 1952 would have been painted all yellow . I'm sure there is a proper paint code yellow but I have always used [I'm Sorry Guys] early caterpillar yellow. Something from the 1940's not the modern color cat calls yellow. Green was on the HG's in the 40's but Oliver went to yellow after the war. Ed B.

Once you remove all the nuts and the taper locks the sprocket should just come off. If it does not it could have worn a groove around the mounting hub. I assumme you have gotten it off by now but if not work harder at it. Don't be afraid. Ed B

The Cletrac F air cleaner is a fairly easy one to fabricate from scratch. Landis Zimmerman has one for sale. The originals were made of a light material and would be very difficult to make today. They had a complicated internal air filter system but today you can just put in the proper sized modern fuel injection filter from a car. works great and is easy to find at any parts store. I own several F's and would send dimentions to you if you want them. Crawler Ed
