That's a big boy when it rumbled by me I was on a tailseat 15 that engine sounded like a beast. Like to hear pulling a load!
Both of them are very interesting, looks like Cletrac was very advanced for the era. Seems like that would be a huge tractor at 100 HP back then and sort of like a Big Bud tractor of this age, found only in the giant wheat fields of Montana and Canada. I'd guess it wasnt ever used for anything except for pulling implements and trailers in agriculture or mining.
That little one looks like the original high track design.
Looks like 8 track rollers and maybe 5 carrier rollers? That tractor looks huge! I'm like Skinner, would love to hear that 4 cylinder run under a load.
Both machines look great!

Both neat tractors. Hats off to the fellow that hauled the big one from Canada all the way to Tulare. I hope it can make Santa Margarita next year for the National event.
Seems as tho Leo is a " hands on kind of guy". Pun intended! Go Leo! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
