I am looking for information on when the Terratrack crawlers and later Case crawlers were made in Churusbusco IN and where the model and the serial number plates are located for these crawlers. Also did the Clark crawler of World War two become a Terratrack?
Thanks for all help

According to the ILLUSTRATED HISTORY of the AMERICAN FARM TRACOR by Randy Leffingwell published in 1999 the following is stated on pages 281 and 283:
"In 1957, Case entered the crawler market, purchasing American Tractor Company of Churubusco, Indiana -- makers since 1950 of the Terratrac. An intovative company, American Tractor's GT-25 and GT-30 gasoline and DT-34 Diesel offered interchangeable track guages for row-crop applications, a three-point hydraulic hitch, and track shoes of either steel or rubber. Through the 1950s, Case continued Terratrac production at Churubusco." That is all I could find in my publications.--JPM

There's more information about Terratrac and Roijtman in J.I. Case: The First 150 Years (not to be confused with C.H. Wendell's 150 Years of J.I. Case.)

The book is at home and I am at work- so that's all I can tell you for now.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner- it slipped my mind.

Here's the info:

"J.I. Case: The First 150 Years" by Michael S. Holmes, copyright 1992. Printed by H M Graphics, Inc. Milwaukee, WI.

It's weird... I can't find a standard copyright page or ISBN number to give you- maybe this book was commissioned by CASE.

I found my copy on Ebay about a year ago. I can e-mail you a pic of the cover if you need it.
