[quote:3soyw565][quote:3soyw565][quote:3soyw565]The answer is no. With three John Deere dealers and two New Idea dealers in the county plus King Wise 30 miles away, I will let you guess what the leading brands of elevators were in this area. The Coop elevator was made by Cardinal. I told a Cockshutt colletor friend about it and I think he bought it for a little less than $80.00. do you know a model 38 drill when you see one? There is a drill that came out of an old barn near here this fall decent condition, steel box no fertilizer painted yellow almost a Cletrac orange for sale.

I can't help with that one. Most of the drills in our area were McCormicks. The earliest drill that I remember is the 26. I think I have seen a picture of a yellow horse drawn Oliver Superior but I don't remember where.[/quote:3soyw565][/quote:3soyw565]
Frank; Send me a U S mail address. I have some Cletrac sheets you may be interested in looking over. They do not quite agree with your information on the E-model. They are taken out of the Cletrac sales manual that was given to the Oliver dealers at the time of the sale. Merry  Christmas. John[/quote:3soyw565]

I got the info on the E from several sources such as Grays book and Wendels however I did find what I beleive are some mistakes in Wendels book. I think I may remember the material that you are referring. Seems that in the material it showed a farmer cultivating behind the crawler holding reins as you would a draft animal. As you know the Es can be confusing because there were several designations. I can remember seeing an E68 but it has been a long time.
Merry Christmas to you.
