I need some close-up pics or diagrams of the tow hitch. Mine is missing parts I need to find or reproduce.

Also any ideas or suggestions for a new cutting edge, it is missing a few chunks.

Thanks in Advance.

Funny Chris you just made my realize that I haven't gotten the S/N off of it yet, tho the brass tags are in place.

A few things I notice are different from the one in your pic- it does not have the rub plates for the tracks, the frame is an open C-channel, and the hitch has several holes to go in to adjust the height.

Bruce is correct .. Carl's pic shows a #1 Terracer, easily identified by the fact it has solid disc wheels (all the other Terracer wheels were spoked) .. and it has the channel frame reversed, compared to the other Terracers .. which had the lips of the channel iron facing inwards, thus presenting a flat surface on the outside of the frame.

It was my understanding that the Preco Terracers were built under licence to Caterpillar, by Preco Inc of LA .. after WW2, from the late 1940's to the late 1950's? This was long after Caterpillar deleted the Terracers from their model lineup at the start of WW2 (for the U.S.)
