HG31

[diggernh]

Hi all..new here..actually..been reading the info and posts as a surfer then decided to register and get involved. A fella gave me a Cletrac  HG31 a few weeks ago..loaded her on the trailor with a come along and toted her home.. haven't had much time yet to tinker on 'er but anxious to get rollin' on it. One thing that really stands out in my search for info on her is that I see a lot of talk and discussion on HG 42's and HG 68's but have yet to see one mention of an HG 31. Hmmm..does this make a 31 a rare breed or does it mean that there is very little interest in the 31?? Or am i making a mistake in reading the data plate on the frame. It does state it ia a model HG31. The tractor seems to be complete and free...it rolls when pulled..the motor turns over when towed...however the clutch seems to be froze up...has a flathead 4 cylinder in it. ..probably one of those Hercules engines I see discussed a lot. So fellas..is this here HG31 worth restoring or is it a waste of time? Appreciate any responses from ya's!!!

I would definately restore the HG-31, most any small crawler would be neat to have, restore and use.  Working on an HG- 42 and an Allis H-3 with 1066 loader.  Great Hobby and glad to have you aboard.
