    A good RADIATOR swap in for a Oliver HG?

    good call! Looking on ebay, one source sells the Alis Chalmers "B" radiator and gives quite a few dimensions, ALL of which match the cletracs, save for one. that is the top inlet pipe being a different diameter as well as breing straight out vs. a angled downward style as used on the Cletrac...

    A good RADIATOR swap in for a Oliver HG?

    I called Landis on radiators.. He has them, recored, like new, for 475. I got to wondering.. The Ford tractors sites, the Farmall cub sites, and the like, make and sell replacement radiators for about half this cost. I have seen dozens of styles avaialable for different tractors and was...

    Tell me.. are these NEW pins and bushings?

    Link will not work to the cletrac.org site. Admin deleted it, probably at the request of the seller. I was hoping he left it up until this deal was finalized...I plan to return the tracks to him for a full refund. In fact, Just filled out a bill of laden, and requested a pickup at my house...

    anyone ever turn up arrowheads/stone implements / tools in there plowing? Always loved searching for this stuff. to pick one up off the surface, to hold it for the first time since primative days gone by, is something to consider. Who made it? What was that person like? How many years ago was...

    Crazy gear reducing idea or not (HG)

    How about this idea: Talked to a fellow who said he knows of someone who reduced the speed of his Oliver HG crawler by using a set of different sized sprockets and chain rollers. What he described was a sprocket installed on the output shaft leaving the clutch case (bell housing /engine side)...
