Anglo Traction 1,016 #13 Posted January 31, 2014 What kind of tractor is in the 4th and 5th pic? looks like an allgaier or porsche tractor Koen I can give you an answer Koen. It is a 'Crawley' Tractor. Built in the late '50's by a Company based originally in/near the Town of Crawley (4 miles away from me). So you don't know just how close you were to thinking it looked similar to those you mentioned . Also that it was designed by a fellow countryman of yours !!.

fordsonmajortom 4 #15 Posted January 31, 2014 Like the dozer, looks neat with that big lister on board.... That looks like an early Davis trencher minus the boom and digging chain plus a few other bits missing, not sure where you sit on it.Davis was taken over by Case.
