I just added a Cletrac H to my collection.  It run well and is complete except the rad is from a Cletrac 30.  It is painted green.  Would that be original??  What type of steering system do they use?  I think it is a 1918 model.

I believe the steering is the same controlled differential steering as the later Cletracs, though the housing is different and it is actuated by a steering wheel.
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.
