My dad purchased a new Cletrac in the mid-30s.  I would like to know the year and model.  I have fond memories of the Cletrac as a young boy growing up at Jungle Park Speedway in Indiana.  Can anyone help me?

I would say it's an early A or a 20C. Hard to tell the size, but judging by the size of the crank and the headlights, it's not a real big machine.
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.

I'm sorry, that is not a 25, but an unstyled B or 30B
