Hey Cletrac collectors and users,
Here a while back our editor asked me to do another Tech Tip, covering the undercarriage on the HG/OC-3. This will be the feature tractor in the Oct/Nov Hart Parr Oliver Collector. It has been a while since I wrote an article, this seemed a good way I could help our members. This will be in 3 issues, originally it was to be 2, but things happen. Like trying to find the correct paint, the only accurate code I have found is PPG Ditzler 60583, every other recommended code comes out to be closer to Prarie Gold than Cletrac Orange, not enough orange, as a matter of fact the Martin Senour number is Prarie Gold, so, if you need to mix Cletrac Orange, go to the PPG dealer, tell them code 60583. The first issue will cover our HG/OC-3 disassembly, in the next one, our Nov/Dec issue, we will be rebuilding the rollers, then in the following issue, we will be reassembling the complete undercarriage. So, check and be sure your dues are current, that way you won't miss any part of this repair.
Take Care!!!
