The Thirty-Five, was apparently the model to fill the gap for the discontinued Thirty PS series, 1728 tractors built from 1932-1934, available in 56" gauge and 74" gauge (center of track to center of track). A model Thirty-Five complete and hopefully a decent undercarriage, (track components and associated wear to each, which has to be measured to be determined, well to be accurate anyway!) would be a desirable tractor, not many produced and how many left today. Seized motor on one of these is worth repairing, hopefully, just stuck rings from rust/condensation. Not a tractor to try and tow or break free in a similar fashion, you would want to take that motor apart and see whats what, these older Caterpillars may not be the easiest to find parts for nowadays.
The Twenty-Two, 9999 built between 1934-1939, available in 40" or 50" gauge. Pto was an option, and nice to complement the ones you have. The one with the lowered seat you describe, sounds like an orchard model. Those usually have tin covering the tracks, specific to orchard work. The steering clutch/brake, I'm not familiar with, there are or may be ways to attempt freeing them up, have to see what they look like, often times from sitting, need to work em again, not sure what dissassembly is needed on these if they need to be done, you need to get the servicemans reference book, parts book, and operators instructions for these tractors.
That Thirty Five could be a sought after tractor, the 22's are common, predecessor to the D2 series. Hopefully some help, also remember there are 2 antique caterpillare forums, ACMOC, ACME and the one Oldtanker mentioned here, where some of those people participate here as well.
Sounds like you may be in CA, lots of old caterpillars out there.

I have been restoring old Farm Tractors for the past 6 years, and have found it easier and less expensive to hit all the auctions and purchase whole tractors for parts needed.
