I got a burr up my rear end one day while at a tractor pull with my 450 D as i end up in third place getting knocked out of 1st by a souped up 1206 and a 4020 with a turbo on it and they only got me by 6 and 8 inches and i made a comment that i should just sell the darn thing and get something better to run with the big dog. Well a guy from over in Pa was impressed with the way the 450 D did run and he said HOW MUCH and i threw a price at him and he shocked me by sayen that he would take it and layed five hundred bucks in my hand wright there and would have the other 2500 when i brought it to him . SOOOOo i went on the hunt for a tractor and found the 460 , well it SHOULD be equal to the 450 , boy was i wrong . Yea it would pull my I H 540 4x14 semi mounts in second but i could no longer get two days out of a tank of fuel . And it sure was not the 450 at the track as we were now sucking hind teet at the back of the class. Even after a lot of tryen it was no way a third of the 450 . And ownen a 460 is like ownen a boat , there are two days that you are happy ownen one the day ya bought it and the day some fool came to get it. The next one was a 706 gasser with a 291 and OH my she had the weight she had the power and used a lot less gas. The 540 semi mounts gave way to 710 4x16 and the old 37 10.6 disc gave way to a 370 13.6 disc. Nomore second gear plowing and keeping the local gas station living the high life I could plow all day on one tank and plow at 5-5.5 MPH Did not have to hang weights on her most times other then three donuts on the land side .and about 600 on the nose . And yes even back then i ran high test in them . there are times now that i would like to find a late model 706 gasser to go with my 806 diesel. and maybe just maybe a 1206 . Heck they can even be real rags i think i can make something out of them , Oh wait all my tractors have been rags out of dead rows at sales . Just like my one buddy's 706 gasser that we brought back from the grave and it became the most hated tractor at the dead weight pulls.Never lost a pull in all the years he pulled it . His wife told him he had to quiet pulling because she was running out of places to put all the trophies . And that 706 gasser came from Stilesville Auctions out of the dead row.

Today's Featured Article - 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.
