Recently acquired 1927/28 Cletrac Model K. Looking for proper colors. Tractor is painted to be what I believe the original paintââ,¬â€lime green. Can anyone help and tell me if green was actual factory color, in addition to their red/gray combination?

If the tractor is before 1930 as far as I know it should be gray and red but I did find some dark green on an early H trans top

I have a Cletrac K and there is no evidence on it of the original colors.
I'm looking for service and parts manuals. Do you have a source for parts?

The K 20 is all gray and I would have some parts.  The engine,radiator,clutch etc. are the same as a W.  Spark

Thanks for the information. I'm confused. According to the name plate this Cletrac is a model 'K' serial #15235. I see dialogue here and there about Cletrac K-20's and K-30's. What distinguishes the model K from them? Albert, thanks for the W info and how that model will swap out in part with the K-20.
 I am working on a Farmall W-12 And F-12 presently and when they are done the little K is on the agenda. It's got me a little intimidated because I know nothing with regard to parts, gaskets etc. I do appreciate the info. very much..thanks again.

I have never heard of a K-30. The model 30 of that generation was the 30-A, which has a 6 cylinder Wisconsin overhead valve engine. It has a steering wheel like the 20-K.

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.
