Guy, I personally have always considered your word the last on most all Letter and Number series tractor questions. So your above statement leaves me questioning.....How can you say they are not rare? Only 500 were commissioned to be built, yes, many were shipped to the tank plant at Lubbock and 4 other tank plants too, minus tanks and carburation. Also the truck, and trains took tanks and carbs back to the factory. So many were completed in both places Also there were some individuals who were charged from the factory to field convert tractors at farmers homes. I order docs from U of Wis for this subject got no real feel of exact #s, or list of serial #s. no real help there. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to serial #s in tractors that have been brought into the limelight either. Most of the pertinant info on the StageIII, SM-TA-LP subject has been gleaned from others who knew of, or visited with and interviewed old IH employees who had first hand experience or knowledge with these tractors. I will whole heartedly agree if you remove this fuel type it is no more rare than any other StageIII, SM-TA, gas version, But it is the fuel type that sets it apart. So....I respectfully disagree on your comment and ask you, is your statement more of, a personal "just particularly do not care for LP" mind set or what? There are just waaay too many unanswered question s on this subject. I have personally visited with Stew up above and many others, and compared notes. Do you have any new info that would help us LP guys?. Thank you! Later, John A.

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.
