I HAVE A CLETRAC GG MODEL #212. I'M INTERESTED IN GENERAL INFORMATION. WERE THEY ALL THREE TIRE MACHINES. ,WHAT HORSEPOWER WERE THEY ORIGINALY . WHAT YEAR IS IT? ORIGINAL REAR TIRE SIZE? WHERE DID THE ORIGINAL DRAWBAR CONNECT? AS YOU MAY HAVE GUESSED ,MY GG HAS BEEN SEVERLY MODIFIED , WITH, 174 CI FORD ENGINE ,4SPEED TRANNY TRIPLE U-JOINT CONNECTION TO CLETRAC REAREND TRANNY SPLINE, 1937 1 TON INTERNATIONAL TRUCK FRONTEND. THIS IS HOW I GOT IT. AS AN RAK AMPUTEE I FIND IT EASIER TO MANUVER THIS CLUMSY CONTRAPTION WITH ITS HAND BRAKES THAN OTHER NORMAL TRACTORS.ALTHOUGH ITS USES ARE SOMEWHAT LIMITED, MY PROBLEM IS IN THE FACT THAT I HAVE A DRAWBAR HEIGHT OF 26 INCHES SOLID NO MOVEMENT WHATSOEVER. WHAT DID THEY REALLY LOOK LIKE? ANY INFO. WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

where do I start. Your tactor was made in Cleveland,Ohio between 1939-1941. All Generals were 3 wheelers, They had a IXB Hercules 4 cyl motor. THe general was the wheeled version of the Cletrac Dozer. Oliver bought thr dozer division and Avery bought the tractor division. They also made tractors and put Wards Twin Row on them In the early 50s Minn-Moline bought them out. The draw bar attachev just about center of the tractor below the 3 speed tans,
