i have a hg and trying to figure out what motor it has  best description i can give is its a 4 cylinder gas water pump on top pulley  distributor and oil filter and i think its called a governor on the the right hand side down draft carb and exhaust on the left side starter is center in front of battery box. Not sure if this is original  motor or not but it looks like it is. i got the axle and oil back in every thing works perfect thanks for all the helpful replies

 hi there,got a new axle yesterday going to put it in next week . does anybody know what weight of oil i should use in the differential and the outer final drive and how much oil each this will take. also looked at the motor was wondering what type i have its a gas 4cylinder with distributor on right hand side intake and exhaust on the left starter is in the middle by your feet it has a water pump on top pulley. thank you very much

hey guys got my tractor final torn apart today it was the right hand drive axle that broke. Got a new one on the way from Chris. The ring and pinion are in near perfect shape as well as the bearings. When i put it back together should i repack the bearings or are they made to just run in oil.The axle had been broke once before and someone turned it down and put a sleeve on it drilled and pinned it and it broke where they drilled it. thanks again for all the help

hey i just want to thank all you guys for all the help.my tractor is about 100 miles away so i dont get much time to go up to play with it thats why its taking so long to work on it.It looked like i could get a little gear puller on that support to help pull it off i tapped lightly with a small hammer and it was a little use just didnt want to keep going in case i was going about it wrong. There was room to cut the bolts off like you mentioned i will do that if i dont have any luck.do you think small gear puller is a good idea or not thank all you guys for the help, i will let you know what i find

i just got started working on it today . started tearing apart right side of final today, got it braced up the track off. took the out side trunnion support off and took off trunnion nut. on the inside support took of the four nuts that hold support to track frame and the 3 bolts that hold on the round cover where i thought would be a trunnion nut but does not appear to be one . looks like a concave dish shape can not figure out how to get the support off of it to lower the track frame down. the 4 bolts that hold it to the track frame go from inside track frame threw the support and nuts on the out side so i need to figure out how to get that support off the trunnion

Thanks for the help, When i noticed i had a problem i moved the tractor a couple of feet forwards and backwards with left track.The right hand track moved right along just with no power to it. nothing looks out of place or bound up. I'm pretty new on working on tractors if you couldn't tell already, When you mention final drive are you talking the outside ends of the rear end where the sprockets are bolted on?

Thank you guys for all the input and answers

 ???Thanks for trying to help me out, here is a little more information on it . After looking more on the internet I'm sure mine is a hg. Out side of tracks is about 52 inches i believe. It has a four cylinder gas engine three speed tranny, starter and battery sets between your feet it was green at one time.

im not exactly sure of model cant get pictures for a week or two. by looking at pictures on internet it looks like hg. the steering works off band brakes on drums if that helps i replaced the lining on the bands 2 years ago. if that helps at all if you need a better description to help out let me know.

Thank you for the reply. I never heard anything. I took the cover off the differential drained the oil everything looks good as far as i can see no shavings or broken parts. I started it up with cover off to see if i could see any thing  when it is in gear one steering brake drum is turning one direction the other turns the opposite is that normal. is there a way to check if the (axle shaft )on the right side is turning Any help is greatly appreciated 

I have a 1947 cletrac that has been running perfect started it up this spring to plow a little snow. When i let out on the clutch is does not move. When i pull either one of the steering brakes it puts power to the left track. Wondering if any body had any ideas. thank you
