Zero-Five-Two Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Any body able to shed any light on this little beastie? Helping a friend clear a barn full of tractors and stuff and found this. Has a plate on it showing Douglas, but no other readable information. I'm guessing ex RAF from 1960's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Clayton Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) It’s a tug tractor from RAF. most where David Brown going by the yellow wheels but am more thinking an early Ford , Massey Tractor. Douglass used all sorts of base units for tugs Thanks Ray Edited April 30, 2023 by Ray Clayton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 It has a David Brown bonnet, so likely that is what it is based on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero-Five-Two Posted April 30, 2023 Author Share Posted April 30, 2023 Thanks for the replies folks, at least I know what it is now, any ideas of value in it's current condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G8RPI Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 The base tractors sell on ebay for around £2000 so I guess it must be worth half that for parts to support a restoration. As a working tug with the rust sorted and good tyres probably about £2 to £5k. But things are going green and a lot of operators would be looking at electric for a tug of that class.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFB5bQo6Lwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
