I have not found another one like it. Does anyone have pictures of it working with the planes? George.

Are you talking about one of these George?

Thanks for the pictures .These tracters are a LU, land utility .The last picture is much like mine but for the wheels and breather. Mine is a industrial N .It has 6x36 dual wheels ,5x13 on front ,a dry paper air filter,no fenders .I'll post some pictures to morrow .All the ones I have found have the big wheels .Mine was made in 1942 . george
