This is really a unique machine. They had their own engine design.

It needs an engine rebuild. It started, but just puffed out white smoke and barely had any power. I'm hoping rings and valves will be all it needs.

Thank you sir.

What state was that in? I know Dover, PA.

I think it's just worn out. When I got it, there was a lot of water in the transmission. Looked muddy. I flushed it and put heavier oil in it, but it is still noisy. There is also lot of noise coming from the left final drive.

A counter weight on the three point would have been smart. Good idea.

Thanks for the encouragement.

They did have one steam shovel there, but I didn't see it operating. I have footage of it from the 2022 show. Maybe I should put that up on youtube.

We do have the Thew Type O steam shovel operating during our shows and the Erie steam shovel that we are repairing. We also have a steam engine running the rock crusher and a steam roller that operates during most of the shows.@@tractortracking

You have to end up removing the crank and pressing out the whole piston.

You never know how bad it's stuck. It might have worked.

My opinion is if the tracks and undercarriage are decent, it is worth it. A stuck engine can always be fixed.

Do you have a video of it?

Many thanks. I needed some inspiration to make more. They didn't seem to go over too big.

a Cletrac Model A

Did you buy it?

The condition of the undercarriage is the #1 priority. The engine is easy to rebuild; the tracks are not.

@@tractortracking I just got my 1947 Oliver hg for a steelllll turns right over and tracks have little wear with 3 point tool bar

Would love to see it.

A petrol powered A series.Very rare in Australia.The ones sold here were diesels.

Hi, i had a BD-H with a 4 cyl. Hercules Diesel. Sold it years ago.@@johnkauppi7078

This one was $800. Which was probably too high. If the engine is seized, scrap value is all they are worth.

Is this one being repaired? Any more videos of it?

Cletrac was ahead of the curve I think.

Good idea.

I have a ford flathead 6 that might look the part.

@@tractortracking Oh NO , Not a FROD Engine , That's pronounced Fraud , FROD uses a different kind of iron ore mixture in making their Engine blocks , haven't you noticed that FROD Engines tend to smoke at 50 to 75,000 miles and a Chevy engine can go over 100,000 miles before an overhaul , FROD is about production and quantity , Not quality , FROD has boosted best built best selling trucks from 1975 to 2015 , 42,000,000 trucks to be exact , So just where are these 42 million best built Trucks at ? You can see most of them at your local Car Crusher , Because you don't see them on the road , but it's your machine and you do what you think is best , I think it is Cool and would be a blast to operate

It seems that the value of the land reached a higher level then the farmer could make through farming. He could either sell to a housing development or sell to a big company that owned thousands of acres. You had to either go big or go home, and many couldn't afford the larger machines. When this happened? Not sure. Maybe just slowly over time. Just an opinion.

The pulley has tangs at an angle that force the crank to spin out, after the engine rpm gets high enough.

@@tractortracking I have a friend who is 78 and has an old crank start bull dozer. He can't turn the crank anymore and asked me to do it one time, but warned me against kickback. That's all he said. I'm 61 and didn't think I'd be able to deal with it so passed on trying to start it. But seeing you start this machine makes me wonder if all crank start machines worked the same?

I want to get one of the narrow ones now. Like a 42.
