Friday Tractor 3/1

Roadless Model N

Roadless Model N full track made during the 1940's for the RAF and later used in agriculture. The "hump back" appearance of the tracks is caused by the rubber joining blocks, there are no pins and bushes in these tracks and they "ran silent". They were a bit of a problem to work on as they acted like a coiled spring and if you were not careful, would spring apart, when you were working on them. I once saw it happen in the workshop and it was not pretty.
