Introduction
Cletrac E Agricultural Crawler Tractor
The Cletrac E is an agricultural crawler tractor manufactured by Cletrac in Cleveland, Ohio, between 1934 and 1941. Designed as a specialized traction unit, this machine was engineered to provide stability and high pulling capacity in field conditions.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a liquid-cooled, four-cylinder Hercules OOC gasoline engine. With a displacement of 226 cubic inches (3.7 liters) and a bore-to-stroke ratio of 4.00 by 4.50 inches, the engine delivers 32 horsepower at a rated speed of 1300 RPM. This configuration provides the necessary torque for heavy-duty agricultural operations.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The powertrain features a gear-type transmission providing three forward speeds and one reverse gear. Power is managed through a dry disc clutch. The mechanical drive system utilizes a crawler arrangement with spur gear final drives, ensuring effective power transfer to the 13-inch tracks for reliable traction.
Operator Environment and Equipment
The Cletrac E is built with an open operator station, prioritizing visibility and functional simplicity. An optional rear power take-off (PTO) rated at 540 RPM is available, allowing for the operation of various stationary or trailing implements. The tractor's operating weight ranges from 4,950 to 6,100 pounds, depending on the specific configuration and equipment.
Conclusion
The Cletrac E is a historically significant crawler tractor suited for agricultural tasks requiring high ground contact and stability. Its simple, robust mechanical design makes it a representative example of mid-1930s engineering for demanding terrain.
