Citsa ◊ 2007-03-10 22:21	I looked at the tractor in my link above again: - Remove engine side covers - Remove headlights - Remove arches of mudguards - Change wheels Isn't it then the same model tractor? Now what model is that? If it is the same as this one: Link to "www.tractorshed.com" then it is a circa 1940 GTS If you compare it with the 1959 GB in this link: Link to "www.tractorshed.com" it looks much more like the earlier model (different fron axle; MM not embossed on radiator top tank).
