Hi
Bought a Cletrac W that has been standing still for a long time. ItÃ,´s complete except for the frame, yes they have changed the frame. The tank base is a replica to. Serial no 21664 and Weidley engine no is MW50968. Does anyone know which year my W is built?
Also looking for tank base.
Have pictures but donÃ,´t know how to post them.

Hello, anyone out there with info about Cletrac W???

Does anyone know when they changed from Weidely to Cletrac engine on the W model?

Greatful for any input concerning the Cletrac W or H model especially when changes were done to upper trackroller, lower sheetmetal rollerguard, front idler, front frame cut, airvented hoodsides, older/newer tracks etc.
Thanks
Erik

Hi
Let's see if I can post some pictures of my Cletrac W.

As I found it under a tree


Loaded and on it's way to a better place. As you can see, the frame is not original nor is the base of the gastank.

Unloading with a JCB

On it's way in to the big garage
Here it is!

Can you please reduce the size of your pictures so they fit on the site? They should be no more than about 720 pixels wide. Thanks.
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.
