Stannard catalogue code 4 of 8. This model is in very near mint condition. It was introduced in 1954 and was sold in this type only (Mack). It is not to be confused with the 4b issue from 1957 which was cast without fenders and driver cast separately. Note that the fenders or mudguards were cast with LESNEY or ENGLAND on the inside, and models were to be fitted with one of each. However, lack of production control resulted in four possible combinations as illustrated in Stannard, p 4-1. It is approximately 40 mm in overall length. Please carefully examine the high definition photos for the original paintwork detail. The tow hook is completely intact. There are no casting or mechanical defects. This Massey Harris Tractor will display as brand new. Additional photographs can be sent to your e-mail address and questions will be entertained up to 4 hours prior to auction end.I make the complimentary box which will be sent with the model.
