Popular Post phildirt Posted February 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2013 The SuperLiner saves another one-Early 1940's CleTrac Model FG recovered from a cow shed in northern GA and is now resting safely in northcentral PA. 1600 miles in 2 1/2 days- about four hours with the big Tulsa winch to loaded and get fastened down.We only had to make 2 cuts to get the blade (Eimco brand) off the c frame, to get close to being under 8'6". Tractor weighs about 27,000. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobcotkg Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Willy, Thanks for putting pictures up of the truck and tractor.Thanks for the comments of truck and tractor. The tractor is soaking to get some things freed up. It was a good trip and the air compressor on the truck puked its guts out about 50miles after we got home on the paying job!The tractor is the only one like it that is known of. It has a Hercules HXE gasoline engine, 935 cubic inches as a matter of fact. Its in good shape really, engine is stuck but not too badly I don't think. Tracks are good. It ended up being an Emsco blade, which I haven't seen very many of either.Mike your friend's name isn't Jim by chance is it?BobYou think Kelly could get all caught up by 2113?
