Quote from: "erik"Also "12" something was used, anyone got more info on this?

I think they were rated as a 12-20. That means 12 drawbar horsepower and 20 belt horsepower.
My gramps Howard van Driest was Experimental Engineer at Cletrac and Oliver Corporation. After the plant closed, he and my uncle started an excavating business, initially using Cletrac and Oliver Crawler tractors.

Thanks Bob, my pictures are a mix of "when found" and "when home". Will go through the pictures again when I have them gathered in the same spot. Some are still not retreived or gathered at a friends place waiting for transportation.

One thing has struck me since this post started, isnÃ,´t the Cletrac H really a Cleveland H? Would be interesting to know the youngest H or W with "Cletrac" on the ID tag.

I canÃ,´t find any good evidence for my earlier saying that later H has "Cletrac" cast into the radiator. This can have something to do with the change from Cleveland Tractor co to Cletrac on the ID tag
