In Reply to: IH Hydra-Creeper posted by Wardner on June 19, 2009 at 21:31:18:
glomming together a Hydra creeper from off the shelf parts wouldn"t be all that difficult......IF the specs of said parts were known.......ie., hydraulic motor type/size and the tooth count on the sprockets contained inside that cast iron housing......which could be fabricated with steel plate and left open if desired....I assume the original ran in an oil bath and the case also kept body parts from getting caught in the works.
By and by, I"ll figure all this out if somebody doesn"t come to my rescue, first. My SA is just too darn fast in first gear, when cultivating the first couple times in a young crop....I cover up way too many small plants and that really pizzes me off. I"ll never understand why the designing engineers didn"t have enough sense to gear these tractors down really slow, to begin with. Obviously, it was enough of a problem...else there never would have been a Hydra Creeper offered to slow the beasts down. The Super A-140 was in production for so long, why didn"t they ever offer....even as an option....a hi-lo gearbox, baffles me. Yeah, I know that after the 140 was killed off.....they finally offered a hi-lo tranny in the Japanese made clones that followed (274-265). Just another mystery that"ll never be answered.

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.
