Introduction
Cletrac AG Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Cletrac AG is an agricultural crawler tractor manufactured by Cletrac in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, between 1936 and 1942. Designed for field operations requiring high traction and stability, this machine represents a significant model in the evolution of tracked agricultural machinery.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Hercules 4-cylinder gasoline engine. With a displacement of 226.2 cubic inches (3.7 liters) and a liquid-cooling system, the engine is rated at 33 horsepower at 1400 RPM. The fuel delivery is managed by a Tillotson P1B carburetor, and the engine follows a 1-2-4-3 firing order. Maintenance capacities include 13 quarts (12.3 L) of oil and 16 quarts (15.1 L) of coolant.
Transmission and Steering
The drivetrain consists of a gear-type transmission providing three forward gears and one reverse gear. Power is transferred via a dry disc clutch. Steering is achieved through a mechanical clutched system, which is characteristic of the crawler design, allowing the operator to control the tracks independently to maneuver the 6800 lbs (3084 kg) machine.
Chassis and Dimensions
The AG is configured as a crawler tractor, utilizing 12-inch wide tracks to distribute its weight and minimize soil compaction while maximizing grip. It features an open operator station, providing the driver with direct visibility of the work area. The total operational weight of the unit is 6800 lbs (3084 kg).
Conclusion
The Cletrac AG is a classic crawler tractor engineered for agricultural tasks where standard wheeled tractors might lack sufficient traction. Its robust construction and mechanical simplicity make it a notable example of mid-20th-century tractor design, suitable for heavy-duty field work and specialized soil conditions.
