Nawlens: Oh for those small items we all dropped in the soil. When you reach my age and more so the age of my eyes without reading glasses, you only take those items apart on shop floor. I like those sheets of white material politicians use making their signs. Great to lie on and small items show up great. Don't mind me, I tend not to get too excited about new technology. The automotive industry, and by that I include all devices with internal combustion engines, have in my life time tried to convince folks that each new model was more efficient than the last. I site my Buick and dad's Chevy. I did a lot of my farming with a 560 and 656, both diesels, the two most efficient tractors I ever owned. Total of 25,000 hours on the two of them. Fuel consumption never exceeded 1.5 Imp. gallons per hour. I talk with young farmers today, using twice the fuel for the same hp. I bought a new 74 Delta 88 Olds, 455 4 barrel, and got 22.9 mpg (imp gallon) My brother got 18 with his 350 4 barrel Cutlass, A neighbor, got much the same with a 305 Chevelle. I had another brother, said he could get 23 on his S-10 Blazer if he tuned it up monthly. I don't think that old Delta was ever tuned up more then 4 times in 250,000 miles. Yet the powers that be tell us we should use smaller vehicles. In the 60s and 70s I bought two near new Pontiacs (full size), two new Oldsmobiles (one 88 and one 98). None of those cars were ever back to the GM dealers for anything, warrenty or otherwise. Today you hear folks running to the dealer almost monthly, with their damn little uncomfortable cars. Why, the price they are paying the car should drive itself.

The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
