Lovely truck! Where did you find chevron tread tyres for the rear or are they originals?

Hi Frank:

Please copy the words as they appear on the tyres... I speak German and French so between us we should be able to figure them out.

Groet! Mike

Tractors

Post by Canadian Gunner »

Hi Frank:

I understood what you meant!

As a Gunner (artilleryman) I tend to use the word "tractor" to describe anything that pulls an artillery piece. Being a farm kid from Canada I know it also means those red or blue or green/yellow beasts that pull ploughs (plows to our cousins to the South :lol: ).

See my museum website: www.calnan.com/swords

Cheers! Mike
