CLETRAC H MODLE

[GARTH CARRIER]

HEY TO ALL;  I'M A NEW CLETRAC OWNER (1918 H MODLE). HOPEFULLY SOMEBODY CAN HELP ME.  MY TRACTOR NEEDS NEW STEERING  BAND LINING, WHAT MATERIAL IS USED, WHAT TRANS/DIFF OIL IS NEEDED?
THANKS GARTH

I moved your post into the right place Garth.

The later Cletracs used 50 wt non-detergent motor oil in the transmission and final drives, as well as in the upper and lower track wheels and idlers. Since everything inside the H is pretty much the same, I would assume they would use the same oil.

The original lining was called Scandinavian 022. I don't know if it's available anymore, but there are soft linings out there that will work. Zimmerman's sells a lining with copper wire in it, but I would be very cautious about using something with metal as it will ultimately get into the bearings and gears.
