Hey you sound like you know more than me.
I’ll have to research some more when I get a chance.
Thanks for posting that info.

I have an old 7700 on the farm also which I’ll take a pic of and post up later.
She’s not quite as tidy but gets used everyday.

Great and engine pictures.
I think some John Deere's of around the same size and era used the same 6.6 Brazillian.

Doris Street, Watsonia, Melbourne: there's a house with a Howard DH22 taking pride of place in the front yard, right up against the front fence, with a little roof over it.
(I know next-to-nothing about tractors.)

Good to see scale model tractors being made. Deutz tractor made by Revell.

I agree. Reminded me of a tractor exhibited at the Perth Royal Show 1984 - 5. A WA family with farming links was intending to produce their own designed tractor. The machine was called the 'Ewers illusion', one of it's features was that the engine could be racked out to be worked on/replaced etc. I'm not aware if it ever went into production.

These are a bit weird. For sale in $ydney.

Calf dozers ! Never heard of them but I guess maybe the forerunner to mini skid steers.

There's some wire/cable from the sidecar to the tractor's front wheel ... make sure you magnify the image; there's a lot of detail to be seen in many old photos on library websites.

Good video about a Ford truck for Rokwiz, but there is a tractor mentioned about halfway through.
