Jan, I bought 3 tractors on e-bay and I am waiting for them. One seems to be equipped with the usual hook. I will tell you more when I will receive it. It seems also that two of them have the yellow and red mark instead of the blue and red. Kind regards. Richard

Hi Richard Here are two of my tractors and as can be seen they have different signs, I have seen a number with the red/yellow signs rather than the correct red/maroon of the Royal Artillery. Best regards Dave

So, I received these last days 4 tractors and I can, now present you all my squadron. It is very exiting to compare and study all the items.

As you stated earlier I see that two of the tractors on the front have the red/yellow signs instead of the correct red/blue Royal Artillery insignia. I have shown one like this above. I have seen others with the red/yellow but they have always had plastic hubs. On yours with red/yellow can you confirm whether the wheel hubs are plastic or metal. Many thanks Dave

First discovery : Did somebody already see the trailer base as shown on the right ? Is it an original ? If not, do you think that somebody can manufacture this kind of piece ?

Second discovery (for me !) I have 3 tractors with plastic hubs and all have the hubs for the safety tyres which are paint in black !

I got one with the traditional hook but I am very suspicious about the rivet. It looks like it's not an original one !
