Hi, Ian and DaveS.
Good call on the tractor in the background, it's a Chamberlain Champion Mk2. And Dave, they were ALL Australian before they wuz ever John Deere. I reckon Deere only bought 'em out - AND shut 'em down - 'cos they couldn't handle the competition.

No Dave, the crawler is not a Bristol.

Ian, you may not be old enough to remember them but you DID ask for another Vas Ist???????????. Be careful what you ask for. You may just get it. LOL.

Hi Deas , well i Will take a wild guess at a terex TC12 .ian.

Hi, Ianoz.
TOO wild, M8. Not a TC12. It was actually quite an innovative tractor in its day.

It's that big spring that's both a clue and a puzzle.

Off to consult the volumes of Crawler Tractor Scrapbook ................
