What is the one on the right? It looks to be re-badged as a John Deere.

Hi Blake , Well as you know Big companys love buying out their oppisition . John Deere bought the Lanz company . Made a few ,Branded John Deere Lanz . Then shut the Lanz tractor line down .

Blake Malkamaki · July 27, 2012, 12:26:29 AM

I see. Thanks.

What are the red wheel tractors in the last 2 photos? They look similar to International WD-9's,, but they have Detroit diesels in them?

These ones Doug ?. If it is .These are Australian Designed and Built Chamberlain Tractors . But as with the Lanz company . Wonderfiull John Deere Company

Bought the company and shut down production

Chamberlain biult 60 , 70 , and 90 HP GM powered tractors . Also many Perkins powered ones ..

Doug424 · July 28, 2012, 01:02:17 PM

Yep, that's the ones. It looks like the styling was inspired by the W series internationals. Are Detroits popular over there? They attract a lot of attention here at the pulls, but don't often win.

Blake Malkamaki · July 28, 2012, 03:09:23 PM

No relation to International? At first I thought they were re-powered W-9s too.

I know about Howard Rotivators (have a 3 point hitch version myself), but did they also make their own tractors?

Thanks for these informative links Ian! I'm learning something new every day. Never heard of a Chamberlain tractor, and did not realize Howard built so many different tractors.
