What is the longest tractor or implement project you have ever had? I have a tractor I have had torn down for 7 years, and here and there i work at it. It really gave me troubles, so i walked away from it for two years and since then have rebuilt ten others. Now i feel like finishing it, but cant recall where i put everything. Its a 1954 model 70 that was a feedyard tractor for 35+ years, the previous owner would load the feed wagon with it, then hook up and feed with it also. Scwartz wide front and a Farmhand F 11 loader, along with 4 sets of wheel weights. It was 20 below zero the day of the sale, and when they got to the 70, she fired right up. Even though it was ugly as sin, i wanted it. Well i got it for $1200, which i thought was cheap. Looking back, i should have kept on walking because she is WORE OUT! I have never seen so many parts on a tractor wore as bad as this one is. And the engine oil came out in chunks, the trans oil looked worse than my sons dirtiest diaper, and the air cleaner was packed so full of hay and dirt it took a week of soaking to get the crap out. It had two broken rings and a cracked flywheel, a chunk missing from the rear of engine block. The hood and grills were destroyed and the tires were black, round and held air. What a gem. Well its roughly half finished now, and the ambition has came back. I feel bad for abandoning the old girl, she deserves a better life than what she had. I am looking for pictures, if i can find some i will post later. Please share your stories about projects such as this!

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
