Default Strickland Bren Tractors

A case of swords to ploughshares...

For 6 years between 1946 and 1952, a Melbourne engineering company headed by Jack Strickland converted 150 surplus LP2 and LP2A Carriers to tractors for the farmers of Victoria under a scheme introduced by the state government.

Jack died in 1960 but his grandson Matt was at the Corowa event, along with a Strickland carrier he used to own, kindly trailered up by John Belfield who now owns it.

I interviewed Matt for the Carrier DVD, and photographed a number of his family album images.

I've started to make a series of pages on this interesting subject.
