Looking for info on a HT35. Blade, tracs and undercarriage show almost no wear. Previous owner said machine had less than 100 hours. Serial # is 9301 and identification number is PFO189. I haven't tried to do anything with it for a few years. Continental motor was running but had an issue with transmission /main clutch. Don't know if I'm ever going to get around to finishing it as I also have a 1940 Ford 9N I need to work on. If someone is interested I can get some pics and info Chassis and 6 way blade are in good shape little damage to seat frame. Call me if your interested.

That sounds like the Heil blade model number. The basic tractor is probably an AG6. Look under the hood, on the firewall and there should be a tag for the tractor there.

AG6 is more or less newer BD right?
google showed that the HT35 was the model for the blade,as Bob said,so the tractor is something like that.
I'm interested,but it's a fair drive,and my pockets are shallow.

AG6s and BDs were made during the same time period. But the BD was produced a couple years earlier than the AG6 also. The AG was replaced by the AG6 in '44

I guess I'm just wondering what the difference is between the AG6 and BD?

The B is just a bigger tractor overall than the A.

B has four forward speeds and two reverse - A has three forward, one reverse
B has larger track frames and different tracks
B engines are close to 300 cubic inches, A engines are 226 cubic inches

others will come up with more differences, but the B is just one-up in size to the A.

Hope that helps,
Blake

A little heavier too obviously, but other than that, Blake pretty well nailed it!

They are close enough the clutches and brake bands will interchange...

Some of the model numbers do get a little complicated. A is the model, G stands for gasoline engine. In the case of the AG6, the 6 means it has a six cylinder Continental engine in it as opposed to the AG, which has a four cylinder Hercules engine. Both of 226 cubic inch displacement. Cletrac switched to the Continental engine as they were unable to purchase more OOC Hercules engines because of the War. The AD (diesel) continued to use a DOOC four cylinder Hercules engine.
