Post #1 by Sylvester » Tue Nov 15, 2016 8:12 pm

Wimpey had lots of these International industrial tractors with loader on the front and compressor on the back in the 80's, what was the model no, has anyone got a photo of them?

I can picture these now in my mind but don't know the model; yes there were plenty of them around.

See this thread , they are mentioned and some pictures , International 3434 and 3434B . Always known as Tracairs on site.
They must have been tough as these machines got terrible abuse fron Blacktop crews .
