tore-40 ◊ 2017-05-17 07:31	Curiously, they were made 1957-62, sold as either BM (as 425 Terrier, painted green, even if they seems red in brochures) or Volvo (as T425 Krabat, painted red) Named, I suspect, after the hydraulic system Terra-Trol Listed as Volvo BM, name change 1972, from the earlier BM Volvo name. Volvo in the registration, that seems correct. The year is not.

tore-40 ◊ 2017-05-17 08:52	That is another meaning of the word krabat - here the closest match in English would be a toddler. I'm visioning a child - who has not yet learned how to walk - constantly crawling around on the floor, not so fast, but indeed persistent. My comment above was for the T/Terrier name.
