I'm not sure about the date of manufacture, but lean toward the Twenties.
More on Cletrac tractors here. (Congrats to Peter and Joanne.)

Falkland Islands and South Georgia:
They may be earth’s greatest but least-known wildlife destinations: the remote Falkland Islands and South Georgia are the breeding and nesting grounds for many of the bird and mammal species that inhabit the rich but stormy waters surrounding Antarctica.
We’ll see glacial plains filled with countless thousands of King Penguins, majestic albatrosses gliding a few feet overhead, huge Elephant Seals battling on the beaches, and much more.
Join photographer Kevin Watson for an unforgettable wildlife voyage to the other end of the earth!
