Can't say off hand.....in those days it was kind of like a pilgrimage for us West Country boys just to go along to see all the machinery that we knew was far too big for us ........in fact it may even have been during the '80s. (clue board in front of D5B - new for 1988)

Hi Richard,

Here's a rubber tracked D3B on the Finning stand at the Hamilton racecourse plant show in '86. This was a good show in its day with a good deal of machines actually being worked.

The same year there was one shown at the Royal Highland Show, signwritten for an Edinburgh plant hirer. Not long after that the company went bust!

I heard that the tractor was converted back to steels, but never witnessed it.

Dave.
