John,
Glad to hear you and Malcolm had a good trip!! I heard you guys were on a walkabout looking for new territory to find the good stuff, any other interesting Massey/Wallis stuff on your search?
I don't know if you looked closely at the pictures I posted but this is not a 48 inch tractor but a 50 inch tractor measuring from the center of the wheels. If this was fitted with steel wheels it would be a 40 inch tractor. As of now I believe there are only 4 of these tractors in captivity that I know of. If I am correct two are overhead valve and two flatheads, this tractor, larrys, yours and one in Canada.
Do you have any pictures of the one you found on your trip? is it a 48 or a 40/50 inch like this one? I did have a picture of a rusty 48 inch in South Africa several years back but lost it when my computer crashed, wonder if it was the same one you found on your trip??
Did anything follow you home??
Joe
