This is my first "modern day" tractor, as I tend to collect and play with tractors that are 20 to 30 years older yet. I found some interesting features to this tractor, and I hope/assume you guys will have some answers for me. This is a 1953 Super W6 with the channel style frame rails. I find that it has shutters, but no provisions for a distillate tank. I always thought shutters were for distillate systems or did my distillate system get removed? With that said, I would have thought distillate fuel would have no longer been produced by 1953?
I also noted this particular Super W6 has no hydraulic system. I assumed all Super W6's would have had hydraulic systems as a standard feature. This tractor has a belly cover so am I safe to assume hydraulics were not a standard feature, but an option in 53?
The old girl was full of debris in the oil pan. It was easy enough to remove and clean out. Initially, when the oil plug was removed, the debris kept the oil from coming out (not good). Same thing with the radiator fluid. After a new magneto, carburetor rebuild, spark plugs, and a fuel tank boil the tractor purrs pretty good now. Now it's time for a transmission cleaning with new fluids. Anyone know how many gallons and which fluid I need for that job? I hope to have pictures to share soon, thanks.

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.
