    I do not know about the tractor but the Ute behind it looks just like mine. Not to many of those about.
    It is a 48 Chevrolet utility. Manufactured only here in Australia from parts imported from Canada.
    Not intending to hijack the thread but could not miss the ute.
    Anyone have any more knowledge of the tractor or ute?20180401_073544_resized.jpg

    That looks like a Fred Flinstones concept vehicle to me [emoji6].

    Beautiful ute! Do you have a link where I can go to learn more about it, rather than hijack this thread?

    The tractor is likely an early Caterpillar. Caterpillar took over Holt's who made the first caterpillar tractor in 1925. I made a Holts model a few years ago, here's some photos of it , 16 to 1 scale. John W.

    From the link that Lappa posted, the tractor behind is a caterpillar and the timber model looks to be a copy:

    Initially I too thought International, but the grill seems to be Cat.
