I just found this on a French forum. Any information about what could be an electric tractor? Thanks.No idea what it is. Are those UK WW2 headlights fitted? I find the most striking feature is the amazing size difference between front and rear wheels.
It’s a McLaren, a one-off built in Leeds for Pickfords in 1941.The cab was built by Charles Roe, the coachbuilders of Crossgates, Leeds. Rated at 100 tons, it ended up with Ronnie Church, a showman from Yeadon, who fitted a generating set instead of the ballast weights, and a davit crane to help in building up his rides. I think the engine was by Dorman-Ricardo, but would need to check that out.
