A few weeks back on one of my tractor parts missions I landed home with a battery charger. I have never had one of these before, and as such know little about them or what can be achived with them. To start with I do not have a manual. This unit stands about 18" high, about 12" square, with wheels and a handle to push it with. The dial on timer was missing. I asked my wife if she had any knobs around off old appliances, to which she pulled the oven knob off her range, said get me a new one of these, and you can have this one. It fit perfect. The dial for voltage change had stem sheared off, I was able to get a new one of these at local auto parts store, I will go back as it was not even his brand. The unit has an orange light for polarity check, a red light for charge indicator, an ampmeter. Voltage switch has 5 positions; off, 6 volt lo, 6 volt hi and 12 volt lo, 12 volt med and 12 volt hi or boost. I can turn timer up and it ticks back in appropriate time. The out put cables are only slightly smaller than 1 guage cables on my 6 volt SA. I have an old 6 volt battery, not much good anymore, when I hook it up it draws about 18 amps. Hooked a volt meter to this and on 6 lo it put out 8 volts, 6hi & 12lo 11 volts, 12 med 12 volts and 12 hi or boost 15 volts. Is this unit good? What kinds of functions can I do with it? What are functions of timer? Can I trickle charge with this unit? This and any other pertinant information would be much appreciated.

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.
