Hi, Clarkray.
Thank you for that. I guess it shows that experts everywhere are fallible. I was told by, or at least I understood from, a poster on another forum that the Clark Airborne 'dozer also had some form of full power steering.
From this other forum, it appears that one of Caterpillar's ancestors, C. L. Best, may have had a hand in the development of Cletrac's system. One poster there reckons that C. L. Best had a new tractor with a new form of steering at an expo in, I think, San Francisco in 1915. This machine was seen by Rollin H. White, the founder of Cletrac (among other things) who bought the machine and the patents and started building tractors himself. This, so that poster said, was the beginning of Cletrac's controlled differential steering.
Anybody who wants to follow this thread at the other site can go there with the link below. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes.
Deas Plant.
