ENGINE DETAIL

The Cletrac GG tractor features a Hercules IXA3 gasoline engine with a relatively low compression ratio of 5.75:1, which may limit power output but enhances reliability and fuel tolerance. Its displacement of 113.12 ci supports moderate pulling capacity, making it suitable for light agricultural tasks. With a manual start and essential oil bath air cleaner, maintenance is straightforward, but the lack of more modern starting systems may present challenges in harsh working conditions.

CLETRAC GG ENGINE

The Cletrac GG tractor is powered by a Hercules 1.9L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, providing adequate horsepower for light agricultural tasks and maintenance work. Its 12-gallon (45.4L) fuel tank offers moderate range, suitable for short to medium operational periods but may require frequent refueling during extensive projects. Overall, this tractor is advantageous for small-scale farming and garden applications, although its limited power output may present challenges in heavier, more demanding operations.

TRANSMISSION

The Cletrac GG tractor features a simplistic [-|-] gear system, providing 3 forward gears and 1 reverse gear that enhances maneuverability in tight spaces. The 9-inch dry plate clutch offers effective engagement but may require careful maintenance to avoid wear under heavy use. With an oil capacity of 10 quarts (9.5L), regular oil changes are crucial to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity, especially in demanding agricultural applications.

MECHANICAL

The Cletrac GG tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing adequate traction for light-duty applications but limiting performance on uneven terrain. Its manual steering offers simplicity and ease of maintenance, though it may require more physical effort during extended use. The 3-speed transmission allows for moderate speed variations, suitable for tasks such as tilling or light hauling, though the lack of advanced gear ratios may hinder operational efficiency in complex environments.

CLETRAC GG TIRES

The Cletrac GG tractor features agricultural front tires sized 5.50-16 and rear tires at 9-24, providing a balanced traction profile for diverse terrain. The larger rear tires enhance stability and weight distribution, ideal for plowing or heavy-duty tasks, but may limit maneuverability in tight spaces. An advantage of this tire configuration is improved ground contact, which can lead to better soil cultivation; however, care should be taken on softer ground to prevent sinking or bogging.
