Hi gents

Considering that most probably no plans of German WW I Tractors have survived until that day, detail shots play an important role as reference material for the modeller. 

Thanks to ebay,  we have luck that such a photo surfaces from time to time ...


Here a recent and not too bad rear pic of an Dürkopp tractor:

 

Some older pics:

 

Cheers, Peter

Thanks Peter, what good photos.

What a machine!

I see the rear wheels appear to have paddles that can be extended through the rim to give traction in poor conditions.

I've not seen that before, are there any other examples of this feature?
