Thank you all for your help. I am really glad I decided to make an account and join this forum. One thing that would help me tremendously would be if anyone who has a Cletrac K20 would be kind enough to give me some rough dimensions on the sizes of the hood and fenders. I understand that this is much more difficult to do than it sounds but in the last 5 to 10 years of random searches I have not found any real leads that will help me restore this old crawler and with some dimensions I would have a rough idea (to compare to a radiator once I get one) how to have new sheet metal made for me.

Also, anyone with any information on where I might be able to find a parts cletrac K or an engine (even if it needs work) and radiator, please let me know. I really wont mind doing some traveling to get the parts I need.

I really appreciate all the help I can get. You can even email me personally if you'd prefer. Email: gallihc@yahoo.com

Bill,

Thank you for all of your help. I never found that video of the Cletrac with the Sargent Snow Blade on youtube before. I will have to see if I can get some information on the blade dimensions and attachment information so maybe I can find a blade or build one for my crawler. Also, Connecticut isn't that far of a drive to pickup some much needed parts. I have put over 20,000 miles on my truck since June, I do a lot of traveling for work as it is.

Would you or anyone else know more about the serial numbers? I still have the cletrac tag on the frame rail and the serial number reads "K- 4401" Did these start at "K- 1" or at a higher number?

This is my first time on this forum but I have read quite a few posts. I am from Mid-Michigan but I am currently down in Northern Oklahoma for work.

I bought this Cletrac K around ten years ago but someone had replaced the original engine, gas tank, steering wheel and took off the fenders and radiator. When I bought it the replacement engine had since froze up and so we stuck a little International Combine engine in it. The tracks on this Cletrac are in great condition, the transmission and clutches work really well also.

I have been looking for quite some time for information and missing parts/sheet metal/radiator/engine so that I can restore this crawler if anyone could help point me in the right direction? I do have a few additional questions about why the remaining paint (that hardly remains) is yellow? I have not seen any other Cletrac K�s with yellow paint. Also, on the tracks, there are mounts for what seems to be a blade but these mounts are much too weak for moving dirt. Were some of these crawlers Industrial and manufactured with snow blades? Does anyone have any pictures or information on what these blades looked like/how they operated?
