Morning all,
Still T-shirt weather up here gml

geenhorn, That Tractor 8 of yours still intrigues me. I was out with the wrecking pile and looking at the bonnet of one of the anniversarys that I've got and started thinking. The anniversarys (at least some) had the aluminium insert so they were using the insert up until 1987 at least? Also it has a similar '3 stripe' decal just behind the insert in a similar style to most of the Tractor models I've seen.
The serial number is also interesting and is completely different to any other Tractor model number I've seen. In fact it has a similar number of digits to the HD8's.
I'm still wondering if it is a very early Tractor.........
