bankman 17 #1 Posted July 27, 2017 I attended a local show on Saturday and one of our engine lads brought this machine along. Never seen one myself, are they rare and were many produced? Pete. 1 Anglo Traction reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expeatfarmer 591 #7 Posted July 28, 2017 Built on a farm in Scotland in the 1950's they were intended to make life easier for small crofters. They ended up being exported all over the world. Cost £190 in 1954 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bankman 17 #8 Posted July 28, 2017 Thank's for the replies, the owner has had it for around ten years but knows little about them. At lest we now have an approximate build date year wise. Pete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
