But it also did Diamond T bodies ..so take your pick..
Yep, closest to the pin, Alex!

How's this for a desirable project? Trouble is of course NOT for sale and part of the Beck museum in Queensland.



Judging by the light stone under khaki it's another of the vehicles brought back from the Western Desert campaign. Needless to say it's extremely rare to find one of these tractors in uncut condition.

More pics here.
