Well it's the day after Christmas. So... what kind of tractor-related stuff did Santa bring you?
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.

Hello, everyone and hope you all had a great christmas.  My Girlfriend made me a wooden box for christmas to store all my ratchet straps and ropes etc in on my low loader.  She has painted it in the same yellow as my oliver Bd, with black hinges and latch. Also had a couple of videos on crawlers, none on cletracs though as I haven't managed to find one (maybe one day someone will put some old cletrac films onto video). Sam
I live in England, got interested in Cletrac's when I brought an Oliver BD in 2001, I now have an Oliver BD a Cletrac BDH and another BDH for parts and have just brought a 1919 model H. I also have a british built Track Marshall 90.  Always keen to hear from fellow collectors.

I got some pretty neat stuff, though nothing specifically Cletrac related. Mostly new house maintenance and remodeling related :?  New saw and some other tools. I did get a nice Grundus AM/FM/shortwave radio so I can pick up Rush Limbaugh and Coast to Coast AM good.
