Matt,
Cool! a Rat Rod Cletrac.


I was looking at Bing images for Cletrac M2 and ran across photos of what I assume is a Russian Museum. Had a few pics of Russian vehicles and text was in Cyrillic.

In another pic was a Cletrac!! That got me to wondering if any Cletrac M2 tractors got sent to Russia via the Lend-Lease program. Other than this one photo, I have never seen any indications that Russia ended up with any. Did a little research about Lend- Lease but found nothing about the Cletrac. Have you ever ran across info on Cletracs to Russia?

Matt,

I clicked on a link on that Russian Cletrac pic and got more info.

It seems that Cletrac is in the GBUK Military Technical Museum in Chernogolovka, about 35 miles north East of Moscow.

So it appears they ended up with at least one!

It wouldn't surprise me if they did get some - but I would think if it ended up in outside Moscow that they would've come from the Western Front not the Pacific side... but who knows - certainly interesting to see where all this stuff ended up...
