In the early 1920s they decided to diversify into tractor production, but rather than design its own tractor, Vickers opted for a licensing arrangement with International Harvester that allowed it to build the latter’s 15-30 model. The aim was to market the tractor in Australia, and hence it became known as the Vickers "Aussie". There were minor modifications to the IHC 15-30 design, but the most noticeable difference was the bright orange paint and the “Vickers” name cast into the top of the radiator. The first Vickers tractors appeared in 1925, and over the next four years several different versions were produced with various modifications. The Mk I was rated at 30 hp, whereas the Mk III, introduced in 1926, carried a higher rating of 23-40 hp roughly in line with the uprated IHC 22-36. A Mk IV appeared in 1929 with a number of improvements based on experience under Australian conditions, although the tractor was also marketed in the UK. Unfortunately sales were not forthcoming, and Vickers abandoned its tractor project in the early 1930s. -- Last edit: 2014-09-12 23:09:34

Sunbar ◊ 2014-09-13 10:45	Fascinating stuff I never realised Vickers tried to enter the tractor market, great work there, mike 962! I'm no expert, but I don't believe its a flywheel but the 'power take-off' belt pulley (abbreviated to 'PTO') for transmitting power to other pieces of equipment. Sure enough its based on the steam engine flywheels that were used for this function but its too small to be an effective flywheel. -- Last edit: 2014-09-13 11:05:53
