Well, I stopped by my Grandpa's house over Christmas for a visit. I'm going to be getting his H that he bought new ('52) this summer. I even have his manual w/ his signiture on the delivery page. I took a few pictures and looked it over real quick while I was there. I'm exited to clean it up this summer and get it going. It's always been covered and the sheetmetal is in great condition. I was in a hurry and didn't try to turn it over, but my dad is confident it will start w/ a pull.
I'm trying to make a list of parts I need to get it fixed up. It's not going to be work tractor. It will be more of a parade/hayride tractor than anything else. I know I need a seat, light switch, maybe throttle (do you like his rigged up friction system?), grill emblem and decals. Can anyone see anything else that I need
I'm told he switched it to 12V, but the battery didn't say 12 or 6 V and I didn't see an alternator. Can anyone tell by looking what kind of electrical system he has on there (I'm new to this)? Is it 12 or 6V? Does it have a generator/alternator/magneto/batt ignition?
Thanks for all the help as I research what I've got ahead this summer! I'll have to post some pictures of his 656 and 1086 too.

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.
