1948 DAVID BROWN VTK1 'Thresherman' 4cylinder petrol/paraffin TRACTOR
Reg. No. EVN 202
Engine No. 3358
ID. 628
The David Brown 'Thresherman', more properly known as the VTK1 threshing tractor, is a rare machine as just 185 were built. This extremely original example, possibly one of the best unrestored and original examples in preservation, has been in the ownership of one family from new.
The tractor was supplied new to Wilf Bielby, a threshing contractor at Cold Kirby in Thirsk. He bought it from the local David Brown agents, Russells of Kirkbymoorside. Apparently, Wilf had served in the RAF during the Second World War and was highly impressed by the wartime Air Ministry David Brown aircraft tractors. After being demobbed, he wasted no time in replacing his ageing Fowler steam engine (sold for scrap for £10!) with the latest DB VTK1 tractor to drive his Foster threshing drum. As well as being used for threshing, the tractor was also called upon to haul heavily-laden lorries up Sutton Bank, which is 1 in 4 in places. No registration documents have been located but it is hoped something may be available for saleday.

v 1924 AVANCE 30hp 2cylinder diesel TRACTOR
Engine No. 145601
A rare tractor in the world today this Swedish made Avance is fitted with a two cylinder two stroke diesel engine producing 30hp. The origins of these Swedish tractors goes back to 1901 and J V Svensen who was one of the leading mechanical engineers in the country at the time. He had established a line of successful paraffin stoves, amongst other things, and created a growing export market for his lines. He went on to build reliable crude oil two-stroke engines under the Avance name to the Meitz - Weiss patent, which had many applications on water and land. He was a very big player in those early days, even compared to his big rivals Bollinder and Munktell, who were later to join together.
In 1999 this tractor took part in the very first all makes Guinness World Record for the most tractors working in one field together, which it successfully completed. It is likely that this is one of, if not, the first Avance tractor to be offered by auction and presents a superb chance to add a rare tractor to your collection.

1953 FIELD MARSHALL Series IIIa single cylinder diesel TRACTOR
Reg. No. SSY 825
Serial No. 15352
The Field Marshall Series IIIa was the final incarnation of Gainsborough's single-cylinder diesel tractor. Unveiled in September 1952, the IIIa featured a number of small improvements to enhance engine performance. A pressurised cooling system was introduced to allow the tractor to warm up quicker, and the price rose to £845.
The Field Marshall Series IIIa could be fitted with a heavy-duty winch, which was supplied with 75yd of steel cable and had an 11,000lb pull. Other options included a cab, a sprung drawbar, electric lighting and an electric starting system. In July 1953, the colour of the tractor was changed to 'Chrome Orange' to bring it inline with the Fowler products. The equivalent crawler version was known as the Fowler VFA. It remained in production until 1957 when Marshall's single-cylinder ambitions came to an end. Just over 2,000 units were built from 1952-56.
