In regard to the Cletrac HG. I've "repaired" many of the Hercules engines for under $200 - it all depends on how beat it is. Last one I did was set-up when I got it. I regrooved the pistons, put in new rings with repair shims, and did a valve job. The bearings and bore were fine. I had less than $200 into it when done. If the crank is bad, or you need new pistons and a rebore - that's a whole different story - but often is not the case. The steering brake bands are cheap - you can buy them from a Cletrac dealer like Zimmerman or right over the counter from Case. In most situations though, they don't wear out - they just get plugged from use of the wrong gear oil. Modern GL-5 oil uses several EP additives that plug the brake bands up. Usually, all you have to do is flush the transmission out, but the correct non-EP oil in, and run it for awhile - and often they start to work again.
