Dat is neat:
Some one will probably ask, is that factory built?
I say it is factory built, the engine and all the parts and the steel vas built in a factory, and some individual put it together.
You all know what I mean?

Looks almost like the motor was set on an Oliver Cletrac HG frame.

Ooh yes I just now got back on here,, This is very nice,, probably put together for a vineyard..looks to have steering clutches on it to,, I would like to know more about it...

 

[tim s]

That is an unusual track set up, seems to be no front or rear idlers,,and the drive sprocket sets and drives differently.....but cleanly put together..

[CPeter]

I think it has a Model "L" engine. that would not be hard to do.

I wonder if an L power unit was fit down into a different crawler chassis ???

 

[tim s]

I'm not familiar with a modle f cletrac ,,did they have tracks like that??

 

[Hotflashjr]

Cool! However if there is only a few around and it was restored don't you think he would have gotten a new hood and bottom guard? I wouldn't have just riveted plates over the dents/holes. How close the tracks are to the oil filler and exhaust elbow are a bit scary as well. It is very cute though!
