Hi all , Against my better judgment ( that's the way I do most thing's ) I bought a M off of E-bay . It's near Cornell , WI about 5 hour's from me . Now I'm trying to figure out how to get it home . I was going to rent a u-haul . At least that was the plan till I contacted u-haul and found out that they have a 4000# payload limit . M weigh's close to 5000 . Lucky it doesn't have wheel weight's and I don't know if it has fluid or not . So when and if I get it home I'll be here as often as possible collecting as much information as possible from the best people possible ! I have never even sat on a Farmall much less used one . Since I was a preteen at least on the farm in Georgia . So I don't make a complete a$$ of myself when I get up there to pick it up I have to make a complete " A " of myself here . Does an M have a normal automotive style shift pattern ? OK , That was embarrassing ~:-) . 49 year's old and can drive any semi out there and have to ask what the shift pattern is on a dinky little tractor . It's too late to find anything out about this tractor so I'm going into this with every expectation that it'll need a major overhaul . Including transmission , final drive and steering . I suppose the first thing I'll do is take a oil sample in for a test and change it . It might take me a few week's for a tune up and I know the steering is bad so that'll have to be addressed also ( they told me it had 1/3 turn of play in the wheel ) . I'll be back with the rest of the story hopefully in the next week or so . I hope to get it next weekend barring divorce when my wife find's out I bought it ;') . Take care ...Randy

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.
