Cletrac Model K1

[Jason Z in MO]

Hi, I new to this board but have searched and so far have come up dry.  I looking for information on a Cletrac model K1.  

There are two data plates on the engine block. The first states the Model K1 and the serial number (don't have it with me). The second is a engine factory rebuild plate. This plate states the bearing and cylinder sizes after rebuilding and the date of 8-25.
From what I have learned the Cleveland Tractor Company was formed in 1916 as the Cleveland Motor Plow Company and renamed in 1917 to The Cleveland Tractor Company. My guess is the K1 was one of there first models.

Any help would be appreciated!

Jason - Sounds like you are looking at a Cletrac K which is also known as a 20-K or a K-20.  If you look around the site you will find specs and photos of similar tractors.  My 20-K has an engine serial number of K1-11984 and I was told it was built in 1928.  The 20-Ks were in production from 1925 to 1932.  I'm not aware of a difinitive listing of that model by serial number and year, just an overall run of numbers.  I'm not sure what your second plate is.  Mine has a small tag that has the numbers 1-25-28 on the magneto side of the engine block, but no mention of bearing or cylinder size.  Is this the factory date of completion? ... I don't know.  Good luck with your Cletrac.  -Jack
