Cletrac at local sale: Howard Co Maryland. Anyone attend?

RedMF40 · Apr 23, 2018

Sorry, was not able to go to the sale, but I previewed this Cletrac and some other tractors. Lots of stuff there--implements, machinery, etc. Anyone here attend the sale, see what the Cletrac sold for? Looked like a complete machine but I'm no expert.

It just floors me the way people rag things out and let them fall apart?

That looks like a pre Oliver Cletrac HG in good original shape but I think it is the extra wide 68" model.

I actually don't have a problem with people neglecting their machines. By the time they come up for sale, they are so devalued that they practically have to give them away. They can usually be brought back to life if there's still a spark there. In the long run, it costs more to neglect a machine than to maintain it properly. Breakdowns, lost time, emotional anguish all take a toll.

I've only seen these at tractor shows. First time I've seen one come up for sale. Looks like a nice, straight machine. I see the crank sticking out the front--but looks like it might also have a big electric starter on the side near the rear of the engine?
