For some weeks now I have swapping emails with a chap in Czechoslovakia who has inherited a Trusty from his father. He wants to get it going and is working his way through the engine internals at the moment, but I wonder if anybody recognises it from the pictures.
It’s obviously a two-wheel Trusty with a JAP 5 engine that somebody has added a chassis and front axle to as well as a gearbox. The owner says that the front chassis doesn’t have metric bolts holding it together and he thinks his father bought it from somebody in England- any ideas who built it or where it came from?
I have already dated the engine to 1946 which looks about right for the rest of the original tractor.
