Saw this today just outside of Winslow, NJ. Looks as if it was used in the blueberry fields as a moving platform. My guess is a Cleat track? Yhought you guys would like the pictures.

Unless it has had an engine swap, no Cletrac ever used such a modern fuel-injection pump. Looks like a Stanadyne DB2 that came out maybe early 80s?
 
The more I look at that frame I am betting it is for moving irrigation pipe. I knew it was not the original engine. Just wanted you guys to see a real cobble job. Now I see green so what flavor of green. JD, oliver, what? Just wanted to know. Also there is no hood or frame around the radiator. Just hanging on with the top hose. Real kit bash job.
 
Definately a transplant. Look at blue tip wrench notch in frame rail to accommodate starter, and plate between clutch housing and flywheel housing. Seen all kinds of engine put into those little machines, V4 Wisconsin, Pinto, even a JD out of a Dubuque.
 
Engine looks like the Onan diesel, part of Cummins now. JD engines have the injection pump on the other side. Neighbor has this same engine in a standby genset. Engine also has glow plugs for starting. Hagie sprayers had the six cylinder Onan in one of the smaller sprayers.
