This is a friend of mine's Cletrac. He got it for 200 bucks 13 years ago. He restored it with a friend in like under 5 months. The little seat thats next to me he built so that he could carry his son when he was working with the tractor when he was a small child. I got to drive it and man it was fun. Its slow. Just 3 gears no high or low. Inline 6 with no electric start. So i had to turn over the motor to get it started. It was my first time driving a crawler so it was alot of fun.
Anthony,
Great pics.
And just how far did you pull that disk! LOL
Tell the truth now!

Thanks to y’all for your notes.
To David & Myron, yeh, IH were quite big in Aust. They manufactured as well as sold.
To Bruce, 1. You are a Lert. I thought the block was hidden. I had that wheel off searching for the serial no.
2.The rear tires are 6.20x12, they could be off a car although they would not make much road contact, they have grooves ground across them supposedly for grip. Like the motor, that’s how I got it, but dirtier (leaves, cobwebs, hornets nests etc.) than the pic. My son in law is an earth moving contractor & he carted it home for me in his tipper from under a gum tree in a paddock he was working on.
3. The 5 hp is what was on it. It is not a long term solution, I am inclined to go 10 or 12. I just want to get the Honda going & run around my yard a bit to check how everything else goes. And herein was a SURPRISE TO ME. The Cub transmission requires the motor to run in the opposite direction to motor vehicles, so the little motor is installed back to front, & the clutch drive disc is mounted on what would normally be the front end of these engines. So I need to be careful that any motor I fit (& here in oz Honda has very good small engines) is strong enough in the front to do the job. Our beaches are sand (see pic) so I hear what you say.
4. Thanks for your ideas on mounting stuff.
To Tedd, OK, sometimes (many for me) the fish are off, so a small Esky might be the go, take the drinks (soft ones for me) out, & bring the fish back. Not sure whether to have blue wheels or white.
To Marlin, thanks for the encouragement.
To Charlie, LOL Appreciate the gig on the little Honda (by the way I’m gonna have to clutch start it, I have had it running on my bench), & honestly thanks for your support & advice by emails.

Anthony C,
Do you have any idea as to the vintage of that Cletrac?
Your friend did one heckva nice job restoring that baby! Probably not the easiest to locate parts for! I realize that the cost of doing such a restore largely depends on the condition of the machine when you first start - that being said, do you happen to know ~about~ how much $$ it took for your friend to get it completed?
Driving it would be a blast - was it hard to hand-crank? I'd guess that it has compression relief valves that you manually open when starting, then close once started...? It is diesel powered, right?

Regarding Cletrac's - I ask that you take the discussion to the Sandbox as Cletracs aren't <FONT COLOR="ff0000">I</FONT><FONT COLOR="000000">H</FONT> Cub Cadets
Thanks...

No they won't interchange.
Refer to http://www.mcmeen.net/CubCadet/Original%20Fenders%20Installation%20Instructions.pdf to see what's different.

Johnny, the 100 used a different fender setup then the Original. On the Original the frame does not have a "tunnel" that covers the transmission and the fenders for it mount on the transmission. On the 100 the frame "tunnel" covers the transmission and the fenders mount to the axles and to the "tunnel". The fenders will not interchange without some fabrication of mounting parts.
Anthony, it sure looks like you were having way too much fun!
Terry, very nice!
Terry, very nice!
Anthony cool time, I like that disk shot!! LOL
Is that a 300 or 400 you are waving at? Just curious!
Question: I have seen some of the tractors taken to shows how do they judge these things? We have a wonderful tractor show here in Wabash, In. and all work right now is being prepared for that!
