I try to never post classifieds in the forum, but this one is a very rare item that someone shared with me to find a buyer. Good tracks for a model F are almost impossible to find, and from the pictures, this one looks pretty good.

Dear Blake,
  I am collector and an artist in Oakland California, am in possession of a 1923 Cletrac model F undercarriage.  I am looking to sell it, if you have any interest or know of some one who is that would be extremely helpful.
Here is the craigslist add:

and a photo set with the machine:

  Thank you,
Justin Gray

I don't know Erik. I tried the Craigslist link, but it is no longer any good.
