It sure does appear to be an artillery tractor. The shells were usually pulled by the farmers or garages who bought them and the winch used for a tow truck boom. As such, you could occasionally find the shells hiding in the bush lines of the rural properties, but these days they are a very rare find. They are pretty much all fabricated, but it may be a little difficult to do one via emails.



I am just in the infancy of my artillery tractor project. The shell was found by a guy 2 provinces away located just 40kms from me. It had 3" thick trees growing through it, and some of the original padlocks were still hanging from the bins. It sports a few bullet holes and some of the top metal was salvaged by the farmer for another project but overall it is the pot of goldat the end of the rainbow.
